Ok, I've got a 2100 here. I've got the keyboard, mouse, and a monitor.
I also have a vt220.
I have enough disk for a NetBSD install. I do not have any Ultrix at all.
1) Can I mop() NetBSD, assuming I run mopd on a server? One of the VAX guys
has a working mopd, I'm hoping I can use it to boot this 2100.
2) Can I run the machine with no keyboard or mouse? I played with the
environmental variables in the boot prom: no joy. I really don't want to have
this machine sitting around with a keyboard, mouse, and terminal. Is there
any hope? I have prom version 7.02 on the board, if that helps.
I think I remember NetBSD being able to use a serial console?
I hope I'm not out of luck.
