Yes, there *are* more 730's out there!
Thanks to Michael Enkelis (tektronix!vice!michaele) for his answer:

>ANSWER:   there is none.

>The 730 boots from the console tu58 tape and does not need a
>boot program loaded onto the R80/RL02 disk.  The newfs program
>is a general purpose script, and trys to make a disk hardware bootable
>even though the 730 can't hardware boot a disk.

>Soo, ignore the error, and all will be fine.

>(I have a 730 running BSD 4.3 on a RA80 after my R80 died)
