That would be my modification, and for the record, the machine that I
gave up running NetBSD-current on has been running 4.3BSD-Reno (with
the exact same hardware configuration, booting and running off the
SCSI disks on the CQD-220) for many weeks now, without a hitch.

I'll be running NetBSD on a VAX again soon, though (in addition to
i386, Sparc and MIPS platforms) -- I've just been given a 4000/500! :-)
