If I read the status reports correctly, it "partially boots" on
several of the QBus VAXen.

I may not have ever given OpenBSD a fair shake, but I've been less
than impressed with it on x86 and Alpha. Seems in general to be more of
a cult than a separate OS.

Now, THAT is what I wanted to hear.
What about the Ultrix-32M that's archived there? The images are all
DX50 floppy. Does anyone know if these can be stacked to a bootable
TK50 tape? I've seen a lot of passing mentions of Ultrix-32 on MVII.
More info? Opinions?
