I suspect it would take longer that with the paging hell modern gcc
would trigger :)

Given I have a copy of the latest netbsd-9 branch source sitting idle
on a machine anyway, it should be a simple matter of:

printf 'include "arch/vax/conf/GENERIC"\nmtc1 at uba? csr 160404\n' >
sys/arch/vax/conf/GENERIC_MTC1 && ./build.sh -U -m vax tools
kernel=GENERIC_MTC1

(I'm curious to see if I have that right - I'll let you know later
after it's rumbled through building a cross gcc and all the other
bits)

[Ragge's comment about stripping down kernels]

... how could I forget - I've been spoiled with too many RAM rich
machines. To be fair GENERIC on vax doesn't include USB - you need
GENERIC_USB for that :)

If you want to paste in a dmesg I'll also run up a stripped down UVAX2
config (I can't find any of my old ones!)
