Hi all,
In the process of trying to dump Ultrix 3.1 and goto NetBSD, I managed to 
damage my RD54.  I'm not sure the extent of the damage; at the very 
least, there's no partition table on the thing anymore.  I may even have 
to re-format it (which I have no facilities to do).
Anyway, here's what the kernel from the miniroot says when it finds my 
RD54; maybe someone can tell more precisely what this means:

NetBSD 1.0A (GENERIC) #1: Fri Jun 16 11:15:25 EDT 1995

avail mem = 7139328
Using 460 buffers containing 471040 bytes of memory.

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        what does subcode 6 mean???

BTW, yes, I know this isn't the latest miniroot, but it was the last one 
I was able to write to tape before I destroyed my system... :-)

any help would be *greatly* appreciated...
