/dev/ra0b: no such device.

This doesn't seem to be a problem, as long as you know that the /etc/fstab
entries duplicated what was configured into the kernal.

BTW, I was talking to some people in the Ultrix support group this afternoon
and they said that Ultrix 2.2 had been released.  They did ask where I was
located, so perhaps there is geographical staging going on.  Anyway, I asked
my local sales rep to quote up a 1.2 -> 2.2 upgrade for me.  Of course last
week the sales people were denying any knowledge of Ultrix 2.2...  8-)
