To all of you who made NetBSD possible on the VAX:

"Thank you very much!"


I burned an ISO image of the VAX NetBSD distro today, and the installation 
was FLAWLESS. I installed version 1.5.2 on a MicroVax 3100 from a DEC 
RRD-43 CD-ROM and the installation was great. No problems, clear, consise 
menu options, no errors or crashes. It went in, rebooted, and I have it 
running as we speak.

What a refreshing change from a day of fighting MS Windows at the office. I 
actually couldn't wait to get home to try this out. I was very excited.

Well, guys, you did a fantastic job! I would also like to thank Chuck 
McManis, Brian Chase, Mats O Jansson, and John Klos for their help, online 
and off, for insight into the boot process. I also ordered about 50 lbs or 
so of books today relating to VAX internals and assembly language.

Hopefully I'll be able to contribute more than just boot error messages soon.

Again - thanks guys. Good job.



         - Matt
