I remember having a *lot* of problems with an 8350 after
pulling out a few cards to inspect them. 
Woulnd't boot at all, yet the self-tests and
diagnostics ran OK.
It would appear that the BI-cards are really picky so
you might want to reset the cards and check the contacts.

Worked for me anyway..
(really hazy memory part follows) if you have the
diagnostic floppies you could try them also.

I can check the VAXBI Options Handbook and 
8350 installation guide/owners manual if you want.
(I also have some other manuals like KDB50, DEBNT, DMB32
etc. though I have check them out first)
