Hardware:	VAX-11/750;  RA80 & RA81

We've just finished the published tahoe installation procedure using
our current 4.3BSD system as a base.  We placed all of the tahoe system
in the last partition of the RA81 (ra1h).  The new (GENERIC) kernel was
booted using,

	: ra(0,3)vmunix

after I swapped the "drive buttons" so that the RA81 was drive #0, and
the RA80 became drive #1.

Autoconfig spotted most of our devices including the uda50, ra0 and our
DELUA.  The kernel then asked for the "root device", and here's where a
problem arose.  I tried "ra0*", "ra00*", and even "ra0", but each gave
the same error message:

	use hp%d, up%d, ra%d, rb%d, rl%d, hk%d or kra%d.

I never had this problem on 4.3 kernels, so am wondering if something is
different with tahoe.  Any ideas will be most appreciated!

This newsgroup is for Tahoe hardware, e.g., CCI Power 6/32, Harris
HCX/7, and Sperry 7000; not for the 4.3-tahoe version of BSD.
