Ho Vaxers!

Having just received a free VAXstation 3100 Model 38, I'm in the 
process of getting it up and running NetBSD.

For the interested it appears to be:
	VS3100 M38 w/ 24MB RAM
	2 x RZ23 100MB drives. (whee!)
	1 x RX23 1.44MB floppy.
	Graphics adapter. (I'm assuming mono, as smg0 found it)

I'm running it headless, and netbooting from a NetBSD/i386 machine.
With the new snapshot, I can read/write to the RZ23s ok, as long as
the block size is limited to 512 bytes. (using 'dd')  I can write a
disklabel, etc.  Doing 'newfs sd0a' fails with a write error and the
block number of the largest sector of the partition.  I understand
that the NCR controller is barely supported if at all, but I'm wondering
if there are more details available about what is expected to work, what
might work, and what flatout will never work?
I'm able to boot a kernel off the network and set the root to 'sd0b' after
writing the 1.3.2 miniroot, and it appears to work, albeit extremely slowly.
I can't newfs anything though, so I'm sort of stuck.  If nobody has any
good ideas, I'll try to create a 100MB (exact geometry of RZ23) image on
my i386, and populate it, then write to the disk.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!  And thanks to the vax developers
for supporting NetBSD on this box!
