If I read the status reports correctly, it "partially boots" on
several of the QBus VAXen.
OpenBSD has "stolen" a lot of the
NetBSD VAX stuff and may run
on a MVII.
I may not have ever given OpenBSD a fair shake, but I've been less
than impressed with it on x86 and Alpha. Seems in general to be more of
a cult than a separate OS.
I'm curious myself to know if OpenBSD boots on your MicroVAX II.
Snapshots are at: ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/vax/
And as far as "stealing" code goes, maybe you should ask ragge for his
opinion on the genesis of our port, or even just have a look at the
sources and commit history of NetBSD/vax itself. You will find that a
diverse succession of projects and individuals have made significant
contributions over the years, including OpenBSD.
