With the drive actually hooked up to the controller, I'm getting "?54
RETRY" messages when it's trying to boot - however, I'm not entirely sure
what device it's trying to boot from! Maybe it's attempting the TK50, or
via Ethernet. I still need to read up on that and work out how to force it
to attempt a disk boot.
On a VAXStation/MicroVAX 2000 (which could behave the same as or completely
differently to an MV-II), "?54 RETRY" is what you get when attempting to boot
from the network when nothing is responding (also, if I
recall correctly, so
take this with a giant pinch of salt...)
