From
http://netbsd.org/Misc/history.html: "NetBSD took its roots
from the original UCB 4.3BSD via the Networking/2
release and 386BSD."
Talking to the guys in #netbsd on efnet, the
'net' portion of the name
shows part of it's heritage, from the Metworking/2 release. They claim
you're on crack.

didn't realize that. I think I got confused looking at
NetBSD (which says it won't boot on a 730).
Please don't confuse BSD and NetBSD. It may help to realise that "net" is
Russian for "no", so NetBSD really means "not BSD". I strongly
encourage you to
run 4.3BSD on your VAX. A Classic Computer should run a Classic OS!
