The tape just goes forever... It never gives me any kind of message until maybe 5 minutes pass and
then I get a HLT!

I never get the NBoot: prompt.

I assume it shouldn't take too teribly long to come up...

What doesn't work? What did you try? How did the machine react?

I assume you've connected a TK50 (SCSI variant) to your VS2000.
Then you did ">>> b/3 mua0" or whatever name the TK50 is given on
VS2000. Is this right so far? What happened next?

Did you see the "NBoot:" prompt? 
If you're specifying the program to load from tape, on VS2000 you'll
need to specify it as "rom(0,0)/program", since there are no standalone
drivers for SCSI yet.
