Hi,
I just took apart my IIvx to use one of it's video cards in my IIcx, which
i just installed NetBSD on.  I set the machine to auto-boot itself and set
up it's ethernet and stuff.  However, I really would like to put the video
card back in the IIvx, and the keyboard/mouse belongs to one of my other
computers.  I just attempted to boot the IIcx headless (and
video-cardless) and mouse/keyboard-less, and it doesn't seem to even be
booting up the MacOS (no noise from disk drive).

Can this machine be booted this way? or does some hardware limitation
prevent this machine from working with this configuration?

thanks,

  - a
