I have a nice VAX11/750 on which I'm trying to get NetBSD1.4.1 running. I
haven't had much success yet. The kernel seems to have a problem with the
MASSBUS controller. The system has about 5MB memory. I'm not sure if this
another  problem. I didn't make it to multi-/single user mode.
If there are people who are using NetBSD on these machines it would be nice
to have a little exchange of experience. I think we need a extra small kernel
in the standard NetBSD releases for these "small" systems.
