Hmm..but the primary bootstrap is working...

Done that in the last days more than once, no problem at all.

Ich bin zu jeder Schweinerei bereit :-)

Maybe I can setup my router to redirect a port to an VS3100 M76
running NetBSD 1.6.1 and complete source tree where you can do what ever
you want..and connect the VS2000 console Port to the VS3100 so you can
use kermit or something to get to the console..would that be sufficient?
Had to build a cable between the M76 and the VS2000...and have to ask the
VS2000 Owner if the VS can leave here for the next time..

It should be possible to set up a netboot environment on that poor M76
too to boot the VS2000 over mop/nfs alternatively.
