>Description:
Installing NetBSD 6.1 VAX in a simh instance emulating a Microvax 3900, the install procedure does not find any disk to install in. The simh instance was configured with two RA90 disks as RQ0 and RQ1, which _ara_ seen at boot time as ra0 and ra1, but for some reason the corresponding entries in /dev are not set up in the install environment.


>How-To-Repeat:
Just build a simh configuration with two (or one) MSCP disks and try to install.

>Fix:
No known fix. I installed 6.0.2 instead, which worked fine in the same simh configuration.

 Can you please state the concrete error message you do see?
 I know it works in -current, and I'm not aware of serious differences in
 this area (but maybe I did something different during installation).

 Sure.

 First, this is the boot sequence. As you can see the RA90 disks (ra0 and =
 ra1) are correctly identified by the kernel:

 After this, selecting the usual menu choices, I get into this error:

  I can not find any hard disks for use by NetBSD.  You will be returned =
 to the
  original menu.

 Exiting from the install environment, this is the content of the /dev =
 directory:

 # ls /dev
 bpf     drum    md0a    nmt8    rcd0a   rmt4    tty00   ttyJ0   ttyS7   =

 Indeed, in -current the memory disk image has a quite fully populated /dev,
 while on NetBSD 6.1 it is minimalistic and missing the ra* entries.

 Investigating...
