The Boot-Loader is from the same snapshot as my kernel is (17.05.2000). I
tried it with the 1.4.1 boot-loader (I had some probs with the 17052000
Booter on my MicroVAX II), but that was the same Problem. BTW: 1.4.1
doesn't work either!

I have looked at www.netbsd.org/Ports/vax, and it _seems_ to be supported.
It certainly isn't corrupted, as I boot it successfully on my MicroVAX II,
too.

Maybe... Don't know! :-)

Nope. I have installed VMS on this one and a analize/disk/repair says,
that everything is in order.

> Is this a 1.4.2 kernel from kern.tgz that you're trying to boot?

Nope. It's the Snapshot from 17052000.
