(Light goes on over my head.)

Oops. The arguments to the DOS server changed, and although I fixed my
menu.lst, I managed to not copy this back into the boot/menu.lst sample one.
You should have an entry like:

/vsta/boot/dos -n fs/root -d //disk/wd:wd0_dos0 -B 512

instead of the old one which is in there.

I'm going to go copy the sample entry into the distribution, and also
convert the usage() message to use syslog. I bet you'll find things work a
bit better with the DOS server not picking up its toys and going home
because it doesn't like its command line! Note that the vstafs server was
also changed to use this format.
