I loaded the NetBSD 2.0.2 boot.fs on a TK50 (using a PDP-11/83). I put
the tape in the VAX, power up, type

B MUA0. The VAX says:

>> NetBSD/vax boot [1.11 Wed March 23 02:35:42 UTC 2005] <<
>> Press any key to abort autoboot 0

That's it. I can't go any further. I read one document that says you are
supposed to do B/3 MUA0, but that didn't have any effect.

My problem with this dialog is that there are dozens of different kinds
of computer that all have the generic name MicroVAX.
