[comp.unix.ultrix] Installing UWS 2.2D on DECstation 5000 + Wren VI

I have been able to install VAX and RISC UWS 2.0 on Wren III and V disks
in the past using several VAXstation 3100's and DECstation 3100's. 
However, now I am trying to install RISC UWS 2.2D on a Wren VI disk on a 
DECstation 5000, and I have encountered a problem.
The chpt stuff is correctly set to contain the a, b, and g partitions. 

I mkfs the a and g partitions using the following commands since the number
of sectors per track is 54 and number of tracks is 15:

     /etc/mkfs /dev/rz0a 32678 54 15
     /etc/mkfs /dev/rz0g 1197000 54 15

Afterwards, performing an "fsck" results in 2 or 3 errors for each partition:

SPARE FIELDS OF INODE CONTAINED VALUES I=XXXXX
CLEAR?

PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE I=XXXXX
CLEAR?

If I ignore the errors or clear them, I encounter problems with setld later
on when it tries to install the required subsets. The error I get is:

"There were fatal verification error for subset UDTBASE031."

Obviously I cannot continue from this point on. If I had cleared the fsck
errors before running setld, there are no fsck errors at this point either.

Any ideas as to how else I should mkfs the partitions?

Thanks for any hints!
