	For the record, all VAXstation 3100s have the restriction.
	All MicroVAX 3100 M10/M20 have the restriction.
	*Early* MicroVAX 3100 M10e/M20e have the restriction.

	See http://www.openvms.compaq.com/wizard/openvms_faq.html
	(Q. VAX 5) for the gruesome details.

	You appear to have the *later* MicroVAX 3100 M10e
	console (VMB V6.4) and therefore should *NOT* have
	the restriction.

	I don't think it matters too much for NetBSD
	anyway. If you partition your disk such that
	all your files come from within the first 1GB 
	(at least until you are far enough along in the boot
	process that you switch to the NetBSD disk
	driver) it should just work anyway, shouldn't
	it? It's OpenVMS that has the problem usually.
