Hi,

I'm trying to get some life in an "old" VAX 3400.

It has three disks, (2xRF71 and a RF72), and a TK70 tape drive.

I copied a boot tape and a root tape, booted "b/3 mua0", and
started edlabel. So far so good:

With this program....

Label which disk? ra(0,0,0)

Trying to label the first disk, in VMS named as dia0:

But nothing happens, edlabel just starts all over again! I've
tried a lot of other values as parameters, all with the same
result.

My question is: Is it possible to run netbsd on this VAX, and
if so: How?

Mogens
