I'm trying to get a simple steppermotor record to move a motor using an OMS
controller and a Zeta drive.  I suspect that I've missed something somewhere,
(maybe in setting up base*?), because after iocinit I have a task suspended
_if_the_controller_is_installed_in_the_bin_.

Perhaps a clue is hiding in the error messages:

  mv162> printErrno 0x3006b
  S_taskLib_TASK_VAR_NOT_FOUND
  value = 29 = 0x1d
  mv162> printErrno 0x1c0001

  value = 26 = 0x1a
  mv162> printErrno 0x3d0004
  S_objLib_OBJ_TIMEOUT
  value = 21 = 0x15

Here are things I've uncommented in baseLIBOBJS:

  LIBOBJS += $(EPICS_BASE_BIN)/steppermotorRecord.o

  LIBOBJS += $(EPICS_BASE_BIN)/devSmOms6Axis.o

  LIBOBJS += $(EPICS_BASE_BIN)/drvOms.o

and base.dbd:

  include "steppermotorRecord.dbd"

  device(steppermotor,VME_IO,devSmOms6Axis,"OMS 6-Axis")

  driver(drvOms)

I believe that this is a "vanilla" 3.13.0b7 version, with the exception that
I've got tthe "initHooks" mod from Ben Franksen installed.  But as I understand
it, that should not have broken anything.
