Nothing like embarassing yourself - at an international level :-) I found the ISO image for VAX at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/iso/ , I used Nero 5.X, cooked an image and all is well. The image is 1.5 ... Any reason that the ISO images are not kept with the distributions? It is = IMHO the best way to boot your VAX for installation...
