I have a 730 running 4.2bsd with an R80 and RL02. I have no trouble
either accessing or booting from the RL02 (I have a root and usr
partition on the RL02 that works fine all by itself, we even have
another 730 system that has only 2 RL02s running 4.2bsd satisfactorily
[not much else though].)

Either you've got something wrong in your config file or you
are having hardware problems, it should work fine. Then again,
I *don't* have a UDA50 on the system, perhaps that is somehow
your trouble?
