Seams like this bootstrap does not support the MFM/floppy adapter. If
this is the case, you are out of luck. Mount the SCSI rx23 in the MFM
VAXstation (The SCSI floppys appear as generic removable disk so there
is no driver problem.) or install NetBSD on the first machine and use
this machine as netboot server to boot the second diskless for
installation. Unfortunately the driver for the VAXstation MFM/floppy
adapter is notoriusly broken. No surprise, who wants to use MFM disks or
floppys this day?=20
