Gunther:

  When I was first fooling around with NetBSD/VAX, I used kermit to transfer 
the boot tape image to VMS from my Linux workstation over a serial line, then 
wrote the image to the cartridge.  TKs boot very slowly, but it worked.  I'll 
try to recreate the process in the next week or so, this time documenting 
what I do.

Tschüß!
Chris.
