Booting the 1.4.1 NetBSD/vax install image from SCSI tape drives just
doesn't work.  I'm fairly confident that the 1.5 release will work.  
Ragge has revamped the SCSI support, added DMA, and things seem to be
running much more smoothly for the VAXstation 3100s, the VAXserver 3100,
and the older MicroVAX 3100s.

Netbooted installs work well, and then aside from that if you can get the
install images dumped to a SCSI disk drive, you can kick off the install
from there.  Do you have multiple drives and/or systems from which you can
work?
