Our problem:
   we have a ds5000/200 with the original firmware and a second one
   with the revised firmware (V5.3c). While we can boot without
   any problems from a Hitachi DK515C from the old firmware
   we cannot bring up the system with the new firmware using the command

       boot 5/rz1/vmunix -a

   The system with the new firmware accesses the disk twice before
   it gives up telling

       can't open ultrixboot
       KN02-AA V5.3C (PC: 0xbfc01b68, SP: 0xa000f574)

   We used exactly the same disk (with Ultrix 4.0) on the DS 5000/200
   with the older firmware level.


Some data from our configuration:

>> cnfg
  7: KN02-AA  DEC  V5.3c  TCF0    (   8MB)
  6: PMAD-AA  DEC  V5.3a  TCF0    (enet: 08-00-2b-15-45-2c)
  5: PMAZ-AA  DEC  V5.3b  TCF0    (SCSI=7)
  0: PMAG-CA  DEC  V5.3a  TCF0    (PX -- D=8)

>> cnfg 5
  -----------------------------------------
  DEV   PID        VID     REV    SCSI DEV

>> printenv
  boot=5/rz1/vmunix -a

  #=7

HELP!!
Our local DEC people want to upgrade the firmware of our running
system too!! Has something changed in connection with ultrixboot?
Any ideas?
