Is it possible to make a bootable floppy for a
VAXStation 2000 or is the
system too large for the disk?
Yes its possible, however it is _lots_ easier to boot it from the network
if you've got a spare PeeCee lying about and can put a free UNIX on it. The
magic there is "mop server" and there are versions for all flavors.
On a unix box I believe you can use DD to copy out an image to the disk,
this is one of the ways that NetBSD can be bootstrapped, the FAQ at
www.netbsd.org (follow the links to the VAX FAQ) has better instructions.
