Okay...

Taking everyone's advice that the problem with installing 1.2 Alpha on a
MicroVAX II was 1.2 Alpha's fault and not my VAX and also that some of you
have had success with the previous versions, I went over to
ftp.neurotica.com and grabbed 1.1A out of the old-vaxport-stuff (sp?)
directory and have tried to install that.

I got all the way up to booting off the /gennetbsd kernel on the hard drive
and I got the following error:

Anybody ever seen this before?

I do have one thought:  I may have my partition table wrong.  I've got an
RD54 and an RD53 and I'm trying to install on the 54.

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys,
