Yeah, It must of been the bootloader, since I got the new copy from site
Ragge mentioned and it booted fine. The MicroVax 2000 is the same as a
VAXstation 2000, the only difference is a jumper setting on the main
board, which disables the graphics controller when set to MV2000 and
changes the use of the serial ports at the back of the box.

cheers,
