Very nice Matt, however I still get no countdown on the VLC with this 
booter. The banner when it boots is:

   83 BOOT SYS
-DKA300
 >> NetBSD/vax boot [Apr 22 2000 14:08:35] <<
 >> Press any key to abort autoboot 5

And it sits there. Pressing <CR> gets it off and running. And it runs very 
nicely indeed! By remotely mounting the man pages I get plenty of space on 
the local disk and it is brisk an responsive.

Now if we could only figure a way to get some framebuffer support NetBSD on 
VAX would be the ultimate free OS for VAXen!
