Hey People,

I have been off this list for about 8 months - Last time I checked in,
there was no support for VS3100. I now gather that there is (except for
graphics card).

I have downloaded the tree and attempted to create the boot tape. My
drive is a TK50Z running with VMS6.1 I intend to install NetBSD
supplementary to VMS (ie two disks). As per the FAQ, I create the boot
tape with

init MKB500 ""
mount/foreign/block=512
copy tk50-file1-13A.; mkb500:

then I attempt to boot from MKB500 at the >>> prompt

The tape spins and searches for files for about 4 mins and then tries to
boot from DKA0, which is my VMS boot disk.

Alternatively, I could attempt to do a MOP load. Since I have only 1 VAX
processor, is there a FREE MOP daemon for Solaris or Windows?

Regards
Iain.
