Hello,

I recently got my MicroVAX 3100/80 to boot over the network (thanks Matt
=), but I would really like to boot off a hard drive.  I have a 660MB
drive in a separate enclosure (DEC Storage Expansion) that gets detected
at boot as:

sd0 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0: <CDC, 94191-15, 0136> SCSI1 0/direct
fixed
sd0: 632 MB, 1632 cyl, 15 head, 52 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 1295850 sectors

show dev sees it as:
DKA100    A/1/0   DISK   663.47MB  FX        94191-1     0136

the drive itself is a Seagate drive I used to replace the dead RZ57
originally in the enclosure.

If you need any more info/clarifications let me know. I am still quite new
to the VAX arch, and there seems to be an awful lot of acronyms associated
with these machine. =)

Thanks,

Sean Cavanaugh
