I am having problems getting our Vax/750 to reboot!  That is, I
have no problems booting up using the   B/2  sequence from the
console, but it will not automatically reboot.

I am running 4.2bsd; we have one ra81 disk drive.  Recently the drive
had to be reformatted; so we did a complete back-up and restore 
sequence.  I thought that the boot stuff was put on when  I used
newfs, but apparently not.   When it refused to boot itself (after
a crash -- the reset button didn't help either), I then used
the installboot command      installboot raboot bootra /dev/rra0a
No good.
The 'poweron' switch is on boot...
Running fsck on all file systems, and they all check out fine.

I would really appreciate suggestions!  Has anyone else had this
problem?   Thanks in advance.
