The entry for the RA81 is wrong or bad or somehow incorrect. It bears no resemblance to the one in the 4.3BSD release tapes. I discovered this because the 4.3BSD release installs on /dev/ra0h cleanly. So I compared the output of "newfs -N -v ra0h ra81" and found the partition size value was very different. I changed my expect script to edit the disktab and now it works fine. The whole goal here was to get a version of 4.3BSD with NFS. I wish I could find a copy of Mt. Xinu's MORE/BSD, but I have not been able to find one anywhere. I have a 3MB 11/730 with an ethernet card and it's too slow for netbsd. I want to use NFS so 4.3BSD/UWisc seems like the only alternative. So in summary: 4.3BSD - installs fine to MSCP disk with latest simh 4.3Quasijarus - installs fine to MSCP disk with latest simh 4.3UWisc - fails to install to MSCP disk due to incorrect /etc/disktab thanks again -brad
