Subject: NetBSD Tapes For VAXstation II GPX Needed???

	I picked up a VAXstation II GPX at a recent HAMfest.  When
I first booted it I was prompted with a request for a USERNAME and 
then a PASSWORD, it was under MicroVMS 4.4. 
	After a couple of nights of fiddling around with the system
it doesn't boot anymore.  After typing either B/1 or just B at the
>>> prompt the system just hangs.  Is there any way of salvaging MicroVMS?
	I would like to get a copy of NetBSD on tape so if I can't fix
the current problem I'd at least be able to use the system.  Can anyone
send me a set of tapes?  Any help would be greatly appreciated,
