In perusing the 1.5 sparc tree, the netbsd.ram.aout.gz is linked to
the first tape boot file.  Is that what is going on with the VAX port?

IF that is the case, then dd'ing that netbsd.ram to the start of a tape
works?

The INSTALL.txt needs some clarification, or my headbone needs some
virtual beer clarification.....  Is that an undersight or oversight
in the INSTALL doc?

Any insights into what is currently the correct tapebooting suite
for a VAX is appreciated.  (I know, netboot, but, I do like to boot
from tape in an emergency when the rest of the world is down.)

Thanks

Bob
