	I  am  planning  like  to build  a  4.3 (tahoe)  system  on  a
MicroVAX-II.  I have the 4.3 distribution.  I would greatly appreciate
if someone could  point me to a source  or  explain the MicroVAX  boot
process.   If  someone knows how  to  make a  TK50 boot tape  for  the
MicroVAX, that would be super.

	My ultimate project is  to make a tape which  would  boot  and
install the  system on a MicroVAX.  I really liked the way the FreeBSD
system installs on  a PC and  would like to use  those  ideas  for the
MicroVAX.
