Re: netboot loader not closing devices

(General question to anyone & everyone) We seem to be having recurrent
problems with finding a safe place for the bootloader. Is there a
location guaranteed to be viable for a 4MB uVaxII and a much bigger
Vax with 100s of MB?

... or is there an elegant way for the bootloader itself to determine already used/unused memory during runtime?

The VCB01/QVSS for example also has switches for changing its memory starting address, so you can never be sure... (Though only the default switch setting starting at 0x3c0000 as mentioned by Charles seems to make sense.)
