Hi all,

I have a VaxStation 4000/60 on which I've successfully managed to
install NetBSD. I've kept the VMS disk in case I want to revive some
memories, but for time being I want to learn more about Unix systems.
However, I have
To manually boot the box with the B(oot) command at the console prompt.
I do not have a monitor (nor cable - it has a color card; with the
strange 3 pin connector), but I've connected it to a PC with a serial
cable. Is there a way to boot it automatically ? It's been some years
since my VMS days, but I remember something about the BFLAG. Or is this
just for VMS ? The box is in my home network, and I can SSH into it, I
just want the serial cable to og away (The cable is short, and the disks
are too noisy to have the box on my desk...). Any advice ?
