Don't forget however that using X remotely works fine.

1.) It is not posible to switch the console from
RS232 to the VGA
Monitor and Keyboard. If i switch the S3 switch
in down position i can
only see the NetBSD Kernel decompression. After that i see nothing on
VGA and RS232 console. The System starts up anyway. After some time it
is possible to connect via LAN.
Very few frame buffers are supported in NetBSD - you will need to check
the hardware support list. Even if it is supported, you will only be
able to use it as a text-console. To put progress into perspective, I
think support for hardware assisted smooth scrolling has only just been
added.
2.) Is it posible to run the NetBSD X.Org on that sort of Vaxstation? If
yes... Whats to do to get that running? I Think i
have to fix my point 1
first.
NetBSD includes the libraries to run X applications, but no Xserver, so
you can only display graphics over the network, nothing locally.
Hope that helps. I haven't played about with it for about a year so I
might have remembered some things wrong. I'm sure someone will correct
me if that's the case :)
Thanks,
Aaron.
