I've got a VAX 4000/100A (same thing as a 100, but with 2 DSSI busses).
It has 128 Mb memory and of course Ethernet.
It was recently taken out of service running VMS, so I expect the
hardware is OK, and it passes all self-tests.

When I cable up a couple of 4Gb scsi disks and a CD-ROM, and try to boot
the NetBSD 2.0 CD, it halts right after (apparently) starting the kernel.
The same CD and drive boots just fine on a VAX 4000/60, and runs the
installer.

Any experience or ideas?  Anything else I can check to help gather data?
The details are below to show exactly what happened.

thanks,

... booting from DKA500 (the CD-ROM) prints this, which looks like
the bootloader successfully loading the kernel and then trying to
start it.

On the 4000/60, the boot messages continue after the load numbers:
