Tru64 5.1B Installation filesystem setup problems

[miketockhp]

VM configured with SCSI CD-Rom + 1 SCSI disk. AXP 1.1.0

Installation options
Mandatory SW
default OS layout
NO lsm
Advfs

Applying the selected disk label on device dsk0

Creating the root file system on device dsk0a
bs_bfdmn_activate: can't open log for domain 'root_domain',
tag = 0xfffffff7.0x0: E_CANT_FIND_LOG_END (-1077)
advfs_logger: invalid rec offset: 0x00000000 in domain root_domain

The mkfset command failed to create an advfs fileset for the root file
domain.

Please inspect the file /var/tmp/install.FS.log to identify the source
of the failure.

This error is fatal and causes the installation procedure to stop. One
possible cause for the error is a corrupt system disk. You may want to
replace the current disk or use another system disk, and begin the
installation again. If this error message appears a second time,
contact a service representative.

Hopefully someone finds this useful.

Manually doing it from single user boot. Outside install process.

UPDATE:
Following configuration seems to work so far.
CDROM IDE 0.0
DISK IDE 1.0

Time outs are still occurring, but filesystem issue does not occur.
Tru64 Installation still running almost 24 hours after. with CDROM + Disk at IDE 0.0 + 0.1 system would have crashed 23 hours ago. Hosting VM hung so install did not complete.
