 Im in need of some help, I have had a VaxStation 3100 for some time now with 
no operating system installed, and finally managed to dig up an older version 
of Ultrix (version 2.2) on TK50. I am having a problem booting the standalone 
tape, the tape drive (a TZ30) comes up as MKA400, an RZ23 as DKA200, and a 
RZ24 as DKA300. I put the tape in and give the command boot mka400, the tape 
spins up all the way to the end, rewinds, then just sits there. I also get 
-MKA400- on the monitor, but that is it. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need 
 to set the boot flag to something? I know the tape drive works, I have used 
it on a DecStation 3100 with no problems. Since I dont have a manual for the 
VS Im not familiar with the beast at all. Any help would be appreciated.
