	I think this would be a very nice feature.

	Just got my uVaxII up with a 315Mb SCSI drive on an MSCP
	emulating controller, so I can _finally_ duplicate the
	boot tape Jason Downs sent me for anyone in the UK who
	wants it (Robin, your tape is in the post as soon as I clean
	the tape head & get a tape written without errors!)

	Only problem now is that I'm getting hard errors on the disk
	and I need to get the right scsi cable to get a terminal hooked
	into the prom on the controller board to map them out. (Yup
	hook a terminal up to three lines in the scsi cable and you
	get to talk to the controller prom... wierd, but cool :)

	Thanks to everyone who has put in work on netbsd/vax - especially
	Anders of course!
