You're welcome.  However, I would like to point out that NetBSD isn't
bad, and that you haven't been fair to it by saying it is just a toy and
that you wouldn't use it.  MicroVAX II support is actually quite solid
and very usable.  It's true that it crashes once in a while if I
*really* pound on it, but it's rare enough that I can live with it now. 
NetBSD/vax is more stable than a lot of commercial operating systems.

Well, it's practically impossible to get the encumbered parts.  Reno and
Tahoe sources are both available for ftp, but without the encumbered
files they're rather useless as operating systems.  The same goes for
4.4BSD... the lites are available, but not 4.4BSD.  Another problem is
that the VAX architecture stuff hasn't been altered to work with 4.4BSD.
