Re: problems with booting after a power down...
On out vax running vms with rm80 user disk, I had to wait a while after booting
for them to "spin up" and become ready before mouting. If I didn't, then
I got that the device didn't exist when I mounted it. What does this have
to do with you? well, its the same hardware, and our CE couldn't figure it
out either. Can you wait a while after powering up? This seems to be even
more likely since you can't boot after a power down, but can boot after
not powering down.
