Hi, gang, I'm back. ;-)

	And I'm back with a question. I tried to turn an installation of NetBSD
1.4.2 on an i386 platform into a bootserver (MOPD species) for some VAXen.
Setup on the would-be bootserver (an applicationDEC 433MP) went well until
I tried to, as Brian's how-to says, do a mknod for the console device.

	NetBSD popped back with an odd error. Something about the wrong platform?
(duh).

	My question: has anyone else succeeded in using an Intel-platform box as a
VAXen bootserver? If so, how'd you do it?

	Thanks much.
