Thanks for the clarification. I'm used to the older /R5:00000000...
method.

It is not. 'b' by itself referenced a disk array that is no longer
attached to this machine (I got it from surplus and I appear to have
gotten the CPU cabinet but not an expansion cabinet). I have two
trays of RZ26s (3 each), one RZ73 and one tray with no power converter,
just a 50-pin blue-ribbon SCSI-1 connector for attachment to the
"missing" 6 drives (according to the logs I've been perusing).
When 'b' didn't work, I just started booting the first drive on
every shelf until it came up... third time's the charm in this case.
Thanks for the exposition on flags.
