hi-
	the problem is that the mvme prom wants to boot from
the start of the disk (it isn't like a sun prom... it doesn't
know about partitions).   

	the first level bootblock (bootxx) has to get put installboot
at the front of the disk.   i would suggest you start "a" at
offset zero and then it should work.   this needs to be better 
documented.
