     Hi People,
     
     What is the current status of getting an installed system onto a VAX 
     processor. I have 3 VAXen @ home. A VS3100/30, an MV3600 and an MVII. 
     All have ethernet and all are currently running either VMS5.5 or 
     OVMS6.1. I also have a DECsystem5000 running Ultrix 4.3.
     
     The target platform is the MVII.
     
     The MVII has a TK50 and the MV3600 has a TK70.
     
     What do I need to download in order to build a NetBSD system on the 
     MVII? How do I get the bootstrap onto the MVII? I have heard MOP 
     banded about. I doubt that this would be a problem since I have VMS 
     and Ultrix builds running already on the network.
     
     I need to know what the procedures are, what bits to download etc....
     If I get it going, I can create install tapes for those in my locale 
     who might not have access to the equipment I have.
     
     Cheers
