Any problems with drives going offline? I've spent the last couple hours
fighting with this blasted one I just got. Decided it must be the 2GB HD
(it's a 3rd party drive) so put the RZ23L in, got a bit farther before it
to decided to go off-line.

Plus I think it dislikes my 'floater' CD-ROM. This is the CD-ROM I use on
*everything* that's SCSI. The wierd thing is, I've used it to load other
DEC systems, but I had to flip the blocksize switch, and I'm just about
positive I just flipped it to 2048-byte blocks, WTF!

I'm starting to think the only way I'll get this system up is to boot it
into my cluster as a diskless client! Grrr!

BTW, I'm 1.3 on my firmware.
