I have seen Bertram's posting, but I have not got the specs of of the machine
yet. Well, I suppose, if the drives are not supported (yet) I will just have to try another method.

I will try and see if one can boot from the TU58... I think this could be an
exciting project for me , I was beggining to stagnate... :-)

It could be worth a try... if nothing else works. Yes, please. :-)

Here is another problem, chalange. :-)
A friend here at work has a MicroVAX II with no tapes, and he was wondering 
if one could maybe boot a minimal netbsd from another VAX using MOP (used to 
boot one diskless VAX from another... ok thes is a VAX/VMS farm here...)

Cheers,
