Subject: 1.2 beta on uVAX II

After months of looking for some replacement hardware for my II/GPX, I
finally have a working vax again. Since my previous 1.1 installation
was lost by a blown disk drive, I attempted to load up the 1.2 beta.
It won't boot from the miniroot. I labeled the disk and copied the
miniroot onto ra0b, and booted with
ra(0,1)netbsd
The kernel loads and configures, then prompts for a root device. I
respond with ra0*. The usual "clock gained xxx days" message is displayed,
then the system crashes with a segv fault in kernel mode.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
