The FAQ seems to be very out of date. I have just yesterday got my uVAX II
netbooting. Check out my webpage for my specification and problems I
encountered.

I had to pull nonessential cards (the 4 port serial mux and the SDI disk
controller, leaving only the cpu, 2 ram cards and the ethernet card) to
succesfully boot the kernel. I haven't yet worked out which card was causing
the problem. However it sounds like you aren't even getting the kernel, never
mind booting it.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
