Hi,

I experienced some strange behavior while trying to install rick's
image on a uVAXII:

After starting racopy, it failed to read the lines from the console 
correctly (and behaves strange):

NBoot
: racopy
11472+468+18680 start 0x0
....

device to read from ? ra(1,0)                      (I tried ra({0,1,2},0))
..
number of blocks ? 2400
invalid number 0.
number of blocks ? 2400
..
number of blocks per volume ? [2400] 800
invalid number 0.
number of blocks per volume ? [2400] 800
..
OK to go on ? [g/a] g
Reading ... No such device - Configured devices are:
...
cannot open unit ra(1,0).
...
device to read from ?                             (nothing)
<same answers as above..>
OK to go on... g
Read ... \                                        (I don't know what...)
                                                  (No unit is accessed )
volume #0 done. Now insert volume #1
Make sure ...
OK to go on ? [g/a] foobar                        (really - you may type)
                                                  (anything...          )
<LOOP>

I testet that out using microroot via RX50 (whith boot.fs) *AND* miniroot
using TK50. I tried two different machines - both were running rather long 
under Ultrix 3.1.. I tested them whith the DEC-Exercisers too.

Configuration:
  KA630-A.V1.3, 8/16MB Memory, RDQX3: RD54, RX50, DEQNA, TQK50: TK50
  Console Terminal: DEC-VT220

Any Ideas??

so long...
