We were getting similar errors on 3/280 with 2 Xylogics 451's. They went away after we put the Xylogics 472 controller before (in a lower slot number) the 2 disk controllers.

I'm not sure why you would get them only with "the -B option" ... we produced ours while using '/etc/dump'. -e Eric Pearce Boston University Information Technology 111 Cummington Street Boston, MA 02215 eap@bu-it.bu.edu 617-353-2780 (voice) 617-353-6260 (fax) UUCP !harvard!bu-cs!bu-it!eap ARPANET eap@bu-it.bu.edu CSNET eap%bu-it@bu-cs JNET jnet%"ep@buenga" BITNET iteap@buacca or ep@buenga
