I was given a VAX 4000 500 (it was going into a dumpster for lack of =
resale value).
The current boot disk has VMS 6.2 on it.
I would very much like to install netBSD on it but am having trouble =
figuring out how to make something to boot netBSD with.
All I can find refers to the older TK50 tapes.
Any advice will be appreciated.
It has the following hardware.
