[Info-vax] %IPB-W-NOSUCHDEVICE, unknown debug or dump device.

[Steven Schweda]

   Hmmm.  It's been a while, and I had forgotten that I had augmented
SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT on that system:

! Added on 16-FEB-2010 22:30 manually by SMS.
! LSI Logic SCSI card SYM21040-33, with LSI53C1010-33 chip.
! Like SYS$CONFIG.DAT for "id = 0x00211000" ("-66" variant?).
! CLUE CONFIG: 10401000.00201000
!              Subsystm DeviVend
device          = "LSI Logic 1010 Ultra160"
  name          = PK
  driver        = sys$pkw160driver.exe
  adapter       = PCI
  id            = 0x00201000
  boot_class    = DK
  boot_flags    = HW_CTRL_LTR, UNIT_0
  flags         = SCSI, PORT, BOOT
end_device

 
   Perhaps what is really needed is another entry in the official
SYS$CONFIG.DAT file to support my unofficial (cheap/Ebay) SCSI card? 
A shame that the EFI-ware seems able to cope better than the
higher-level OS.

   And a better explanation from HELP /MESSAGE:
