Help wanted with an Open VMS installation

The show device command displays the ethernet connection followed by
 
the CDROM as..
BOOTDEV=DKA500
ADDR=A/5/0
DEVTYPE=RODISK
NUMBYTES=681.88MB
RM/FX=RM
WP=WP
DEVNAM=CD-ROM
REV=1.1C

and it shows the hard disk as...
BOOTDEV=DKA100
ADDR=A/1/0
DEVTYPE=DISK
NUMBYTES=1.00GB
RM/FX=Fx
WP=
DEVNAM=RZ57
REV=5000

I have actually tried 5 different hard disks: 3 seagate models and 2
original DEC RZ57 drives, but they all end with the same error message
while installing!!! I have proved the 3 seagate disks on a scsi card on
a PC and the 2 DEC drives work OK on a DEC 5000 machine booting up a
copy of Ultrix, so I am pretty sure the problem is not actually with the
disk drives.
