[Debros, Frederic M.,Md]  

	I still struggle
	tmout ..... all the time
	//var/log reads server not found...
	so now I'll try cd load instead
	i have a cdrom that is recognized and shows on >>  .. at least that!

	Q: what is the boot cmd for a descstation 5000/240 for netbsd pmax
image 1.6 on a cd i recently burned off netbsd.org? 
	i also bot the WASABI  disk, but that was for the vaxstations. 
	i dont know which file "it" wants to load initially.

	Fred
