Actually, I am surprised by the lack of information provided. I guess
the newer BSD's have spoiled me. :-)

Now the problem.
The system boots fine. And it will mount /dev/rl1a. But it won't mount
/dev/rl2a. I get "/dev/rl2a on /vol2: No such device or address".
I get the same error when I try to do a disklabel. What's more, I also
get this same error when I try to access any of the RA devices. I am
using the GENERIC Kernel which I assume has all the devices in it.
Anybody have any suggestions??
What do you see at boot time? Does it show all three RL02s and the
mscp-controller along with disks? >>boot dl0

And that's it!!
I have commented out the RK entries in /etc/fstab as I certainly don't
have any real RK disks. :-)
Next, I usually do:
---------------
# mount -a
/dev/rl2a on /vol2: No such device or address
#
-------------------
And so it goes.
I should probably mention again, these are the 2.11_on_rl02 images from
the archive. It consists of 4 RL02's and 6 RK's and it boots and runs
fine under SIMH.
Second, do you have the entries in /dev?
Maybe I'll try running MAKEDEV just to be sure there isn't something
corrupted, but being as the boot disk and vol1 both transfered and
copyed to real packs OK I have no reason to suspect there is anything
wrong with the data on the pack. Hmmmmm... Maybe I'm just paranoid,
but I don;t think I will make this assumption. I think I will make
a new vol2 pack anyway.
But that still leaves why I see no RA's either.
Any more suggestions?
Is there anyone running a webserver on a PDP-11?? Or will I be the
first when I get this going?? I was going to do it with Ultrix-11
but I think it may be easier to get up and definitely more stable on
2.11BSD. Ultrix-11 still needs more work getting it back up to real
production quality. (But I plan on doing it!!)
All the best.
