        Since you didn't mention it, I assume you don't have an external
SCSI CD-ROM. DO you have an internal CD-ROM you could temporarily stick in
the VS3100? I have NetBSD/VAX 1.5 on CD, and drop a copy in the mail to you
possibly...

! You can probably make a boot image on a SCSI hard drive for

! get the right
! files from the netbsd site and lay them on the drive with dd and you
! should be all set. You can install the rest of the distribution using
! FTP if you have a network.
