I am trying to install NetBSD on a Microvax II from TK50. I can boot and
run the edlabel utility and the copy utility, but when I try to boot, I
get error 21 or 22 (can't remember) label not found or something similar.
If I run the edlabel a second time, it does not find any of the previous
entries. My guess is that I have a disk hardware problem. Does the edlabel
or the copy utility do any error checking?

Thanks
