The kernels for 1.4.[12] should support SCSI booting on the VAXstation
3100 M30,M40,M38,M48,M76, the MicroVAX 3100 10,20,10e,20e, and the
VAXserver 3100.  Those releases don't support it on the VAXstation 4000
series.  For that I think you'll have to go to one of the -current
snapshots, or wait for the 1.5 release.  I'm not positive about the
present state of VAXstation 4000 and VAX 4000 support.  Maybe we need a
big checklist for all the VAX models?

If he's talking about booting a supported 3100, the disk needs to be
labeled, it needs to be newfs'ed, it needs to have the boot blocks
installed, the "/boot" second stage bootloader must be installed, and
there has to be some form of "/netbsd" kernel installed.
