Hardware: VAX-11/750; RA80 & RA81 We've just finished the published tahoe installation procedure using our current 4.3BSD system as a base. We placed all of the tahoe system in the last partition of the RA81 (ra1h). The new (GENERIC) kernel was booted using, : ra(0,3)vmunix after I swapped the "drive buttons" so that the RA81 was drive #0, and the RA80 became drive #1. Autoconfig spotted most of our devices including the uda50, ra0 and our DELUA. The kernel then asked for the "root device", and here's where a problem arose. I tried "ra0*", "ra00*", and even "ra0", but each gave the same error message: use hp%d, up%d, ra%d, rb%d, rl%d, hk%d or kra%d. I never had this problem on 4.3 kernels, so am wondering if something is different with tahoe. Any ideas will be most appreciated! -- Kenneth H.
