It may be a limitation of VMS, however it is _not_ a limitation of NetBSD. 
The prom will only be able to read the boot program from the first GB but 
that program can (and does) use the later SCSI commands to boot the system 
successfully.

I'm guessing that VMS may "call into" the PROM to access the boot disk, and 
if this is true it will have problems if what the FAQ says is true.
