So what is involved with this procedure? "disklabel -B /dev/sd0a" ?

Ok, I've done that, but I don't know how to get the VAX to boot it. :P  To
boot via ethernet, I simply used the command "b/100 esa0" like it said in
brians NetBoot HOWTO.

I have tried "boot dka200" (104mb SCSI DISK), and it says:
"howto 0x0, bdev 0x2a, booting...Boot failed, saerrno 2"
