Yes...we all decided that Ragge needs to work on this problem *wink*

There's nothing you can do -- everyone who has tried installing the 1.2
system on the system you have has had the same experience, and we've all
tried entering just about every possible combination of things wherevery we
could.

We'll just have to wait until Ragge can work on it.  In the meantime,
somebody said that trying to install the 1.1 version would still work, but
I've tried that and it doesn't work (I have a MicroVAX II also) so I don't
know what to tell you.

I hope you have Ultrix distribution tapes...
