Two questions about the Vax installation guide...



1. The installation guide says to get a mopd from ftp.stacken.kth.se:/pub/OS/NetBSD/mopd -- however, this machine is long dead. (I know how to build myself a mopd, but it's nice if the install documents tell the truth for a new user.)

2. The netboot/ directory that gets built these days has four files in it, boot, boot.mop, install.ram.gz, and install.ram.symbols.gz — it is unclear what install.ram.gz etc. are for. The install docs mention a netbsd.ram.gz but that's not in the directory and it isn't clear if these are the same, or what the "ram" in the name indicates.

3. The guide claims that there is a a directory called installation/misc that contains "Miscellaneous vax installation utilities; see installation section below." -- this directory does not appear to exist and no further reference is made to it.
