I have several that are configured for root/swap/dump on rz2, I'd be
happy to build you a kernel if you need it. Drop me a line with your
preferred options/devices (CD9660, PPP vs SLIP etc) if you want.

Also, I think the kernel from one of the snapshots is configured to use rz0.
(It's not real thrilled to find an Ultrix disk there :)

My PPP link is tty00 on a 5000/1xx. Strangely, this is the port
marked '3' (the one next to it, presumably tty01, is marked '2'). 
Seems to be the same on a 5000/200.

The kernel should have serial stuff built-in, just 'cd' into
'/dev' and do './MAKEDEV dc0' or './MAKEDEV scc0' depending on
whether you have a {5000/200,2100,3100} or a {5000/25,5000/1xx,
5000/240}. 

Use a Radio Shack PC printer cable with a gender bender to suit the
DEC end of the cable, or get the cable with the correct ends.

I've been unable to get tty01 on the 5000/1xx machine to work (not tried
the 5000/200). I've seen some references to these machines having a "modem" 
and a "printer" port, so I wondered if maybe there was some strangeness 
with the pin-outs on the other port, but I've seen other documents/source 
that simply say "two ports with hardware flow control". 

I've tried both a null-modem and a modem cable on the other port to a modem 
and got no response from either? Maybe just a dead serial port?
