Hi all ...

I got a DECstation 5000/120 with a PMAG-AA (1280x1024) graphics card.
The monitor is a VR319.

I installed simpleroot21 on rz3a .
Now when i try to boot , it tells me that it is booting from 3/rz3/bsd
there comes the size of the kernel. 

But after it is finished loading, the screen disappears .... in the
upper half of my display is see some weird pixel scolling (as if
there was some textoutput, but it is scrambeld)
and after some time the display wents black ....

If i enter (blind) rz3a or rz3 the harddisk starts running, so i think
that it does boot, but why is my display black ????

I hope someone can help me !!
