Ok, just to make sure I state this ourtright, I am currently netbooting 
via the methodology outlined in the netbooting how-to, with my root filesystem 
being NFS mounted from a Red Hat Linux 6.2 box.

Yes this is a TK70 drive (or so the little sticker says on the front).

So DSSI is only supported on a MSCP controller...  How do I find out if 
I have a MSCP controller?  In case it hasn't become apparent, I'm not at 
all familiar with VAX hardware and I am really not that familiar with *BSD 
-- I'm really a Linux guy and this is my first foray into the BSD world. 
 I've tried to peruse the archives of this list, but I'm sure I missed a 
whole bunch.  In short, please be as patient as you have been so far.  From 
what I've seen so far this is the most helpful newsgroup I've ever posted 
to.  But I digress.  So if I have useable hardware that I can boot to, is 
there any documentation on how to do that (I assume I follow the netboot 
procedure and then sacrifice a small animal and make the magic incantation 
:-)?  Also, if I need to rearrange some internals in order to get these 
drives working, is there some documentation on that?
Thanks for all your help,
Jason
