Hmm, I've read this also somewhere before, but at least with the IBM disk
I get two question marks after starting the console code for the SCSI Bus

It's possible that I have to disable the parity, or the disk is identifying
itself with more than 7 Characters...
OpenBSD is currently installing (flawlessly so far) but I think I'll know
in approx an half hour if I can boot the installed OS.
OpenBSD has sized the a partition with 900Mbytes so all the needed files
for booting should be below 1 GB.

I do have KA43 V1.2 Bootroms in the M76, so the
question is:
Are there newer ROM versions than 1.2 und is there support
for larger System disks? Burning Roms is no problem. Does
someone have a newer firmware version?
I do not know whether V1.2 is the latest or not but I do know that
I've never heard of boot ROMs for any VAXstation 3100 that support
greater than 1.073GB boot disks for OpenVMS. (For Unix-like Oses then
I think you can partition the disk and all will be well ... it's only
the boot process that uses the console disk drivers).
