.. since I have to move the Vax back to the owner tomorrow..
but I think the owner is still interested booting that thing
from the disk.

It is possible that the KA410 config in /usr/src/sys/arch/vax/boot/boot
simply doesn't contain the "possibility" to boot from SCSI and therefore
the bootstrap doesn't even try to find the filesystem with the kernel?
Maybe I have to dig out where this definition is?
Ragge you digged in the bootloader lately..??
