Hi,

	IIRC the boot blocks bundled with this snapshot are bad (freezes
any Vax). If the install CD contains bootxx_ffs in /usr/mdec or whatever
the first stage boot blocks are called on vax, you can relabel your HD
from the CD by pointing Installboot or Disklabel to the right
place.Other than that, see if you can rip boot blocks off somewhere else
on the ftp site arch/vax maybe? Or some kind soul here can send them to
you. (Or if you have sources and comp.tgz installed you could rebuild them
yourself)


	Chris

	If the soft errors are from the HD rather than the CDROM, I'd run
