SYSGEN's configuration is from an internal file.  Volutil's configuration is
from the Volume Set Information Table (VSIT) located on the set's master.
I believe that DSTAT actually makes a driver call;  therefore, the disc
controller is not responding.  First, check cables and power.  Make sure
the the correct cables are plugged together.  Find an IOMAP program.  Is
there one on-line or do you have to be in boot mode?  And finally, you
could have a bad drive.
