Hi,

I have a MicroVAX 3100, which I think is a model 10e, that I would like
to try and run NetBSD on. I have downloaded the 1.4.2 binaries and can
get as far as netbooting the kernel but the machine then appears to
freeze. The vax home page lists the 3100 m10 as supported, am I out
of luck if mine is a 10e? If it should work, any suggestions as to
where I might be going wrong?

The netboot output looks like this:

KA41-D  V1.0          

F_..E...D...C...B...A...9...8...7...6...5...4_..3_..2_..1?..
