Thanks For the encouragement and help Ross!

I made the floppies on a PC (DOS 6.22), using the NetBSD CD i386 rawrite
utility.  I did the May release single floppy, then went to current and
snapped up the snapshot floppies.

Now, my config is the VX40, with the internal disk (in this case a
Maxtor 340 MB SCSI set at scsi address 0), the floppy, 32MB of true
parity, mouse and keyboard.  I have a kluged monitor set up (AOC SVGA)
that produces a kind of double image on the screen.  I can work with
that to get this beast up and running!!

The maxtor seems to be attempting to cycle..I think I will pull it out
and see what I have .....

I will check out the install instructions!  When should I switch
floppies? is there an indication?

Can you or someone else recommend a monitor - I mean by brand name so I
can figure out what specs I need!
Thanks
