The same that happened when trying to boot from CDROM, now happens 
when netbooting: after kernel checksum it just "hangs" and nothing 
happens.  So it works but the console output ends up somewhere else?  In 
amd64 (or i386) I could just provide some parameters to "boot" (setting 
console, for example) but boot prompt in VAX are rather simple: they 
accept only "boot", "halt" and "help".

I took a glance at the VAX 4000 Systems manuals and did a research but 
didn't figure out if there was an option I should change in SRM.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks.
