The answer, as given by Doug Werth in

  http://raven.utc.edu/cgi-bin/WA.EXE?A2=ind0102D&L=hp3000-l&P=R7140

is as follows:

> In any event, the LDEV numbers 90-99 are automatically reserved when the
> machine is started, and the numbers are not configurable. If you configure a
> device in SYSGEN using the same LDEV number then the next available device
> number after 99 will be used. However, if you try to use an LDEV in the 90 to
> 99 range in NMMGR that device configuration will fail because the DCC startup
> occurs after the system has already reserved 90 through 99 for Reverse VT,
> causing a device numbering conflict.

(see the referenced message for further explanation)

his travels, like a devout man with his prayer book, an old, worn copy of
