You're not forgotten on this one, I'm just trying to figure out the best
course of action here. One thing to clarify: The MicroVAX 3100
M30/40 is not the same as the VAXstation M30/40. From what I understand
the MicroVAX M10/20 and M10e/M20e are closer to the supported VAXstations
in their underlying architecture. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Ragge! Bertram! Either of you got a MicroVAX 3100/M20 lying around? I
think we're very close to being able to netboot them. I'm half tempted to
call up my VAXen source out here to see if they've got one handy so I can
replicate your problem.

I've got you in my unresolved problem queue. I'll see if I can't come up
with anything by sometime next week.
