Good idea. It's a lot faster ;-) After I remembered to try boot
rom()netbsd, I got in basically the same situation I am now:

>>> boot dkb0

-DKB0

617460+1118848+151900 total=1ccfd4

then nothing. I remembered reading about console switching, so I tried
the other 2 MMJ jacks too, and the db-25 port too, but no result.
Something *was* happening though, since the tape unit reset.

There is a little switch next to the diagnostics leds, but I'm reluctant
to try it, since Ultrix works ok in whatever setting it is now, and I
prodded another one nearly to death already. Besides, according to the
info on www.netbsd.org, the MicroVAX 3100/10 does not have graphics
hardware, so why would it have a switch for it?
