I'v tried to boot my UC08 with 1.5 from CD-ROM and from  miniroot.fs dd'ed
to a disk with no luck. After a while it hangs and Emulex lit all three leds
indicating fatal error. Also tried with 1.4.3 bootfs from TK70. It booted
and I was able to begin the sysinst session, but when pax worked on base.tgz,
it reported file system full on / and sysinst aborted the installation.
Seems to me that 1.4.3 is OK, but the 1.5 is not working correctly.
Ultrix worked as a charm with Emulex.
