I assume you have meant "sd0c".

Excellent! Your VAX will love you for this!

You are trying to use the standalone NCR 5380 driver, which, as I have heard,
is unuseable. Instead you'll need to use the system ROM routines. To do this,
type "rom()/netbsd" where you now type "/netbsd".

P.S. Does your VS3100 M30 have a SCSI/SCSI or SCSI/MFM mass storage controller
daughterboard? If it's SCSI/MFM, you'll be frustrated by NetBSD not suporting
the MFM part. I have also heard that you'll need to install some special kernel
to use SCSI too. In any case I wish you the best of luck.
