Nice haul! Wish I could've gotten that first!
IIRC, you should be able to boot off of the CD-ROM. Can you log into VMS
now? Maybe ftp all the tarballs to one of the HDDs first?

Subject: newbie with VAX
I was given a VAX 4000 500 (it was going into a dumpster for lack of resale
value).
The current boot disk has VMS 6.2 on it.
I would very much like to install netBSD on it but am having trouble
figuring out how to make something to boot netBSD with.
All I can find refers to the older TK50 tapes.
Any advice will be appreciated.
It has the following hardware.
Tape
