Last I checked, NetBSD doesn't support any sort of multiprocessor VAX.
  Multiprocessor VAXes exist, but you're stuck with either Ultrix or VMS
on them.
   Hi Pat, it's good to see your name in my inbox.

   NetBSD ran on multiprocessor BI-bus VAXen many, many years ago.  Is
that support broken?

I made it run on 8300 once, in the early days of NetBSD MP. I planned to make it run on both 8800 and 6300, but due to lack of docs neither of those came true. So, unless someone has a 8300 to test on (just over 1 VUPS per CPU, not much), current state is unknown. "It worked last time I tested" :-)
