Sorry for the delay in posting the solution - I wanted to wait til I was
sure it worked.
Thanks to the people who pointed out options MSFS - when I called
digital for help it took them 4 days before someone could point this
oversite out. My email posting had me the answer within the day (from
someone in digital but my window for reboot had closed so I couldn't try
it.)
The problem was: I couldn't reboot after rebuilding my kernel.
I would get a cpu panic stating it couldn't mount
domain_root and it would halt and reboot again.
(it would keep rebooting until I pressed my halt button.)
Solution: Since my root partition is a ADVFS type you need options MSFS
in your configuration file /sys/conf/YOURHOST ... I must have
lost it when I did a doconfig without -c YOURHOST on the command
line(?). But rebuild worked fine after that.
The other problem was: Getting scsi cam errors trying to use a disk in
scsi 5 in my internel bay of the 2100. Show device
showed the disk, but in using it during an upgrade the copies
started failing.
Solution?: Still not sure on the dka500 disk slot situation. We fixed
the tape drive so it nolonger looks like a "jukebox" tlz6 vs the
tlz06 and maybe that will help.
I'll be re-attempting my upgrade this weekend so I'll figure out
if this drive is now usable.
