Using an EMULEX MD-21 on a Dec-5000

I have a diskless Dec-5000, and an unused scsi disk of type
"rz0: RZxx EMULEX MD21" as reported by "cnfg 5". Ultrix is quite
happy to run "chpt", "newfs", and mount partitions on this
disk.
So I can at least keep my files on it. However, when I dug out the
Ultrix 4.2 install tapes, and tried to make a standalone system, I
got as far as the part where the install procedure says
setenv boot "5/rz0/vmunix -a"
boot
and then exits to the boot ROM. At this point, a "boot" command
causes the drive to move the heads around, and then nothing further
happens.
If I reboot ultrix from my server, and "od /dev/rrz0a", I can see the
bits that appear match /usr/mdec/bootblks.
Has anyone gotten this combo to work as a boot device, or have any
ideas about what I might have overlooked?
Please email replies to me, and I will summarize
Thanks in advance,
