The path is /pub/NetBSD/vax/rx33, the files are named rx33-bootdisk-10A,
rx33-copy1-10A, and rx33-copy2-10A. But since NetBSD/vax doesn't support
VS3100 (yet), the only relevant file is rx33-bootdisk-10A.

There are at least two things you could check on your VS3100:
- what happens if you enter the eqivalent to "mtpr $'A',$PR-TXDB" at
  the console prompt?
	>>> dep/i 23 41
- if the letter 'A' get's displayed, then you could check what happens
  if you boot your VS3100 from a floppy holding the bootdisk image.

This won't get you a running system, but it might give some hints about
where the problems are and where the system fails ...

I've a VS2000 temporarily for testing. But I've run into problems with
console output and I'm stuck.

PS: VMS or Ultrix are not that bad. :-)
