Re: vax port status

[Michael Schneider <ms%vaxcluster.de@localhost>]

I did, just recently (started last weekend and finished... well, later), 
and just for the fun of it.
I installed 4.0.1, then compiled the whole system including x11 but 
excluding the regression tests.
The resulting system boots fine and recompiles itself, with one 
exception: awk dumps core occasionally. I had to replace it with the 4.0 
binary.

The system used is a 4000/705

I did not try to use the freshly compiled boot loader (/boot), i have to 
admit. But the rest of the system is now rock-solid, with 4.99.73 running.

Greetings
Michael
