Hi!
try to install NetBSD to my Vax4000/200 thr NetBoot
with RedHat7.0 for 3 days without any success. 
Hope some one can give me a light for this problem.

I connect to the vax thr 10Base2. The cable is working
good when connect to a windows98. No problem to 
ping the w98 and the linux each other. Thus the ethernet
card on the linux box and cable are good. However,
I do not know how to test the ethernet on the vax is 
good or not.

Then
I follow the directions in
http://world.std.com/~bdc/projects/vaxen/VAX-netboot-HOWTO.html
and also refer
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/ 

However, the vax console just keep showing
    retrying network bootstrap

after I enter 

    b/100 EZA0
    bootfile: mopboot

on the vax box.

Could some one please tell me which file I should check. By the
way, not sure why, but I cannot exec "mopd -a". I have two nic
on the linux that I use "mopd eth1". 

Thank you.
