Hello again from Gregg C Levine
This is curious. Robert reports, that the tape booting concept does
not work. This gentleman reports the same thing. Then why are the
NetBSD/vax maintainers continuing to leave that part within the
installation documents? When did tape booting work? And when did it
break? How far back does NetBSD/vax go anyway?
