Hello all, I have a VaxStation 4000 VLC (David I promise I'm going to send
the Amiga this weekend!) without an OS. I'd love to run VMS on it (I have a
DECUS membership -- I love free student memberships ;) ) but I have no idea
how to go about it. I have an external 1.3 gig SCSI drive for the SCSI port,
an AUI -> BNC transceiver for ethernet... but no console. I'm looking for
that cable to go from the serial port to a terminal. Where can I get one?
Also, are there any FAQs or documents that describe installation? I have a
SCSI CD (1X, woohoo!) and an NFS/FTP server. BOOTP is almost set up, DHCP
already is. Can the machine come to life with bootp and tftp? Is it possible
to install VMS this way?
Thanks,
Kevin
