Unfortunately, the documentation for VSTa is way out of
sync with the current distribution. This is one of the
things it doesn't tell you:

> module=/vsta/boot/dos -p disk/wd:wd0_dos0 fs/root

The "-p" flag for specifying a namer path was basically
made obsolete when the feature was added to library
open() to interpret any path starting with // as a
namer path. The syntax for some of the servers changed
as a result.

What you want instead is:

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

The "stage12 file" is named grub.raw, and as you noticed,
it is simply the concatenation of the stage 1 and stage 2.
