Good, if you had typed <CR> it should have booted immediately. In the mean
time there is a fresh boot (Ragge posted its location earlier) for the VLC
that will count down (I've tested it!). So presuming everything is ok, if
you type "B DKA300" and get the NetBSD vax/boot prompt, then press <enter>
(or <cr>) it should boot. If it breaks into the > prompt type "boot netbsd"
and it should continue booting. Once you get the new image for boot, copy
it to /boot and then the counter will work as you expect.
