Hmpf. I don't like Linux. Pollute my holy VAXen with it horrifys me.

Read: http://minnie.tuhs.org/Quasijarus/compress.html and the other
pages about Quasijarus to get an impression about the personality of
Michael Sokolov, the Quasijarus maintainer. Mr. Sokolov is a bit,

Use maketape for creating the tapes, pre-disklabel the disks with NetBSD
and read the setup paper. Than you will have a smooth ride on the VAX.
Ahh, once the -Tahoe kernel is running it uses 7e1 on the console...

Hmm. I think that you will not be able to generate boot tapes from
floppy disk images.

VS? You mean there is GPX graphics board set in it? Nice. I have to
build a new bulkhead for the GPX in my MV III...
