Tim,
let me try to remenber how I did it in the past (long time ago)........
boot from cdrom
"format" , select your drive (mostly 0)
press "type"
select 4.2 (can't remember exactly. could also be 4200).
label your drive - Type "Label"\
with "verify" you can check your drive partitions and label
"quit"
then
form_disk ESP0 SCSI3 AW51 (if it is a AW51 others WP51)
Now restore manual the meta database.
cd /cdrom/databases
cp md.db.4200.aw51.Z /tmp
cd /tmp
uncompress md.db.4200.aw51.Z
dd if=md.db.4200.aw51 of=/dev/rsd0d bs=96b
then restore all partitions except the meta database partition.
this worked for me in the past, but as mentioned at the begin it's a long
time ago that I faced a B style Box.

Patrick Den Haese
