Well, I won't be much of a help. I can only tell you that I ran into =
exactly the same trouble trying to boot my vaxserver 3100. There is some =
difference between the vaxserver 3100 and the vaxstation 3100 m10. And =
so I draw the conclusion that vaxservers aren't supported by netbsd yet. =
:/  Can someone with more knowlege confirm/deny this?

Also does someone know if rx23 on scsi is going to be supported as a =
boot device in the future? It's a lot easier to boot of a floppy than =
setting up a working netboot linux box...
