>Description:
After having installed everything manually (since the installer does not work) I installed the bootloader on /dev/sd0 via disklabel -B sd0 (I tried installboot as well). But the bootloader does not work.
CONSOLE OUTPUT VAX:
===================
>>> boot dka0
-DKA0
?50 SCB2NDINT, DKA0
85 RESTART SYS
84 FAIL
83 BOOT SYS
-DKA0
?50 SCB2NDINT, DKA0
85 RESTART SYS
84 FAIL
83 BOOT SYS
(two weeks ago I installed OpenBSD on the same computer, which managed to boot from the same harddisk without any problems)
