Nice box. I have one too.

There is a botable CDROM image at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/vax/snapshot/20000517/installation/ 
or...

you can netboot the box. See
http://www.de.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/ 
and http://world.std.com/~bdc/projects/vaxen/index.html 
Use a -current snapshot. The hardware of the VS4k60 is not supported in
1.4.2.
