By disk (if you have VMS available, and you can manage to boot) it seems.

As you seem to have a COUGAR.SYS v1.4, you will also have 
COUGAR_DSK.SYS, right? It is in the same FW package called 
cougar_fw.zip, which can still be found here:

http://www.oxide.org/vaxproms/

The VS4000.doc file says something like:

1)
Create a top level directory on the disk.
$ CREATE/DIR DKA100:[FIRMWARE]

2)
Copy the firmware update savesets to the directory.
$ COPY <filename>:[FIRMWARE]*.*

3)
On the client system, enter this command at the console prompt: b/100 
dka100.
The system then prompts you for the name of the file.
Bootfile: [firmware]bl9.sys
