Why net-booting? I'm always booting VAXstation (I know, that's different
hardware, but from pretty much the same time, and I suppose from the
same engineers) via an SCSI CD drive. You need one that works with 512-byte
sectors. Fortunately, I have a drive available made by DEC for
VAXstations, but I tried it once with another drive we use at work to
install old Sun Sparc machines and SGI machines.
