There won't be many VxWorks experts around here... But yes, this looks like
a corrupted drive.
It could also be BIOS configuration, I would definitely try to toggle
between IDE and AHCI settings in BIOS (provided the drive is connected
through SATA).
Another thought: Zeiss might have an easy way to recover the RT computer,
maybe TFTP/BOOTP, but this will be hard to figure out without Zeiss' help.
Good luck!
