I am trying to resurrect an old microVax II and get NetBSD running on it. I have a blank disk, a TK70, and a DEQNA. (Last month's attempt to netboot failed as I could not get the linux server to respond properly. (It kept saying it could not find mopboot.sys when it was right there in the directory) Anyway, I found an old floppy with NetBSD 1.2 on it. I can boot and init the disk as ra81, but when it goes to download install sets it fails because the DEQNA cannot access the gateway. I tried pinging the gateway from the NetBSD command prompt and get no reply, but if I ping the MV II from another computer it responds just fine, so I know the DEQNA is transmitting and receiving. I'd love to try with a later version boot floppy but the MV II has the only 5.25 floppy around, and my local surplus shop just closed its doors for good :-( So 1) are there any known problems why the DEQNA cannot reach the gateway, (I have tried both 10base5 and 10baseT transceivers on it) or 2) is there anywhere I can get a TK70 boot tape to do the install? thanks in advance for any help, Nigel -- Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept!
