Success!

I have suss fully netbooted my new VAX 4000/300 (see below)!

I had to remove the TKQ70 interface, with it in I keep getting
panics...

One thing about the ethernet interface. I am running an AUI
transceiver to UTP. I was under the impression that old VAXen
should have SQE enabled on the transceiver, but when I did so
I was getting the dreaded 'ze0: xmit logic died, resetting...'
messages. Turned SQE off, no more problems.

Regards,
Tim.

No. The KFQSA is supported as it speaks MSCP. The KFQSA does not speak
MSCP. It needs a special driver that is not written yet.

Netboot.

There is no native DSSI support. But MSCP port adapters like the KFQSA
are supported.
