Has anyone had experience loading a 5400 with Ultrix 3.1?  We are
having severe problems here this weekend.  Our tape is labeled
"Ultrix-32 3.1A (RISC)", part number "AQ-NL66A-BE".  Every time it
gets to the point of installing the software subsets, we get errors.

The errors never seem to be exactly the same, so we think it might be
hardware problems.  However, it passes diagnostics with flying colors.
We are also on our second tape from DEC (the first one was truly bad).
We'll have DEC looking at the system tomorrow sometime, but I wanted
to see if anyone has had similar problems, or has successfully loaded
3.1 on a 5400.  If you have loaded it, was it the same tape as I've
listed above?

Thanks for your help.
