I'm pretty sure some pre-1.0's ran on VAX. The uvII was supported in 
4.3BSD and all the code was still there foe 4.3t, reno, and 4.4. net1&2 
and pals, so i dont see why pre-1.0 netbsd wouldnt run on it. 
i remember (it's a foggy memory now) some pre-1.0 netbsd running on an HP 
9000/300 i now use as an end table.. :-) 
1.0A is pretty far back though! 

happy hacking,
