To use the MicroVAX-II example (because that's

perfectly content to netboot to get the OS kernel onto the machine,

KZQSA was it? I forget) working.
This reminds me that there was a piece of code kicking around
DEC that allowed a uVAX 3 series machine to boot from KZQSA.
Basically it was (iirc) piece of bootable code (floppy boot, netboot,
both ... I don't remember the details) which when booted would find
a KZQSA and boot off that.
Never kept hold of it and I never saw the source (which would
have been instructuve I suppose).
