I have tried a number of times over the past several months to 
install NetBSD on a MV II. Each attempt has lead to the same 
sequence:
1. I build the tk50 tape on a microvax
2. I load and use edlabel on a second microvax II to initialize the   
   RD54---works like it's supposed to.
3. I copy the initial image to the disk--works great
4. I attempt to boot up the new image
5. I see 2 or 3 screens of startup and system data
6. I see the message concerning incorrect system time
7. I get a kernel panic and get dumped into db>

This has happened with each and every kernel I have tried, including 
the most current one.  The system is a garden variety microvax II 
with rqdx3/rd54, deqna, tqk50, serial card, 5mb memory. VMS runs fine 
on the system.  In searching the netbsd archives, I noted a number of 
postings of similar problems, but have seen no resolution.  Obviously 
others have succeeded in getting NetBSD to work on similar systems, 
but I have repeatedly failed---most frustrating!!
