One other thing.
When I ran into this problem recently it was not because of the boot tapes
as they ran just fine in another MicroVAX-II I had, it was because of the
way the cards were positioned in my backplane.
I have found that on some cabinets that Q/CD slot 4 I can put two half
hight cards in just fine. But on others I can only put a single card in
the top half and nothing in the bottom (which was my problem). I was
putting a quad controller that works fine in a regular Q/Q slot into this
slot and it was causing this. Then I tried moving the ethernet card and
the TK50 controller to these positions and then the TK50 stopped working
and that when I realized I had a problem.
Taking these boards to another machine and putting the disk controller in
the Q/CD slot 4 worked just fine. Moving the disk controller to another
slot and putting the ethernet and TK50 controller here worked just fine
also.
I have run into this with three different machines that I own here and have
yet to really figure it out.
So if you have this problem, try moving your cards around.
