Then don't put 1.5.x on it, put -current on it. In the grand tradition of
NetBSD the only thing that can compile the system is the system. Only
-current will compile -current, and 1.5.x will only compile 1.5.x.
Its a well explored rant of mine and I won't proceed any further.
On the subject of excess VAXen, I'm probably going to have a couple at some
point on the West Coast (N. CA, SF Bay Area). Let me know off list if your
interested (and no, nothing like a 4000/705 or anything, just a MV II or
III and/or a 3500 vintage type machines)
