Hi,
  I've just aquired a microvax 3100 M10e, complete with a 100M drive with
VAX/VMS 5.4 (woo!). I've dumped a 1G segage drive in there, which the box
can see (it shows up in show dev), but VMS won't initialize, so I thought
"Hey, why not put NetBSD on there".

My problem is thus:
The machine has 4M physical RAM. I've got the NetBSD-1.5 install
netbooting as far as loading the kernel, but it get's to running sysinst,
then drops out having run out of swap. I'm passing a
swap=fourway:/path/to/swap argument with bootparam, but it doesn't seem to
be picking it up (swap is a 32M file). I'm sure there's a way round this.

The box has an RZ23 FDD(sd1) and an RZ23 HDD(sd0), and this segate 1G
drive I've added(sd2).

Hope someone can give me a pointer in the right direction.

Bye for now,

       Matt
