We are running 4.3BSD (from Mt. Xinu) on a VAX 11/730 (yes there are still some around!). The disk has been reformatted, and I am attempting to newfs the root partition. Problem: newfs want's to use /usr/mdec/{rbboot,bootrb} to install in sectors 0-15 of the drive, but these files are not there. I have checked old dump tapes, and the source distribution, and still cannot find boot code specific to the rb80. I suppose the boot program for the RL02 (same controller - idc) could be hacked to work for the R80, but I would rather not have to deal with that. Can anyone shed some light on this? Please e-mail, as I will not be taking the time to read news until this machine is up. Thanks in advance for any help. Martin
