Hi Kelly,

if you have another NetBSD-1.5 machine (doesn't need to be a vax) you can
use the instructions at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bootcd.html
to make a bootable vax CD.  Otherwise I think some images are going to be
made available 'fairly soon'.

I need an .iso image to take home (from work where my write is located) so I can update my vax.  Currently it is running 1.4A.
