Thanks a lot! It really *works*!!!

Looks like I have a VS3100 {30|40} (so which one?) with 16 MB RAM and
two RZ23 hard disks. Ethernet seems to be recognized.

Now, should I try to install NetBSD 1.4.2, or should I rather try to install
the current snapshot on this model?
Also, can I make the setup program use both disks, say sd0 for /, /swap and
sd1 for /usr?

BTW, those HDs are *really, really* noisy!! Is there anything that could be
done about that?
