  I think the VT1300 is basically a VAXstation 3100 (somewere around model
30, I think).

  They normally boot a VAXeln X11 server image file from a boot host.
If the VT1300 is really a 3100/30 board, it should be able to boot a
3100/30 NetBSD kernel as well, and presumably would have the 3100/30 SCSI
adapter stuff.
