  This is great news.  I'm glad to hear that NetBSD/vax is getting some
lovin'.

  I'm slowly bringing up most of my machines here, getting stuff
restored and repaired.  Most of the VAXen are running VMS, but I'd like
to run NetBSD on some of the smaller ones.

  The one I brought up most recently is an 8250, a pure VAXBI
system...maybe I'll set that up with both VMS and NetBSD boot disks.
