This SNAP worked for me and >>>boot dva0 -flags a took me through the
'whole' install.
I have a 'rough' log of steps for "Express" installing "Kern-Developer"
on a Multia VX42. Folks interested in these "rough notes" are welcome
to them.
(smile) Having said that, here are the things I had to do to make it
work, because it still does this: "Making a new root filesystem on
/dev/rda0s1a [snip]".
After finishing the install, the reboot (or powercycle), under SRM, and
using the kern.flp floppy disk:
>>>boot dva0 -flags a
[when it says]
Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter:
[do not change disks - just PRESS ENTER]
[snip] (for reference)
swapon: /dev/da0s1b: Device not configured
Automatic reboot in progress...
Can't open /dev/rda0s1a: Device not configured
/dev/rda0s1a: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
/dev/rda0s1a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
Automatic file system check failed... help!

how I do it (a snip from Sean O'Connell):

While I am here I also use "adduser" and "passwd"
