Hi People,
What is the current status of getting an installed system onto a VAX
processor. I have 3 VAXen @ home. A VS3100/30, an MV3600 and an MVII.
All have ethernet and all are currently running either VMS5.5 or
OVMS6.1. I also have a DECsystem5000 running Ultrix 4.3.
The target platform is the MVII.
The MVII has a TK50 and the MV3600 has a TK70.
What do I need to download in order to build a NetBSD system on the
MVII? How do I get the bootstrap onto the MVII? I have heard MOP
banded about. I doubt that this would be a problem since I have VMS
and Ultrix builds running already on the network.
I need to know what the procedures are, what bits to download etc....
If I get it going, I can create install tapes for those in my locale
who might not have access to the equipment I have.
Cheers
