I'm getting my hands on a VAX 3300 (for sure) and evetually (hopefully) a 
3400. Both are classified as MV's in DEC's terminology. We want to get 
NetBSD running on them. To see if they'll boot even, we are going to 
write the tk-50 images to a tk-70 tape, and boot from the tape drive on 
each of the machines (they both have TK 70s on them). 

We'll see how it goes from there, but I've never worked in porting an OS 
before-- so what do I do from here?
