I have no practical experience in OS's for VAX's however
I have seen many references to OpenVMS. NetBSD is
probably a good choise as well but wouldn't
OpenVMS be more "native" to the machine?
Again, I am only suggesting this based on what I
have seen turn up in the archives and at various
sites.

I was lucky enough to be given a VAX 4k500, but am
now looking for advice on
how to get an os installed... NetBSD 5.1.2 halts trying to boot from the CD,
right after loading the kernel, I'm slogging around in mopd.c and friends
trying to find out why, when moptrace tells me everything's getting there OK,
that mopd says it's getting protocol request "9100" instead of
"6001", and
I'm still waiting on Encompass/DECUS-US to get my membership processed so I
can get license keys for VMS. (Sigh!)
Anyone have advice/clues/pointers?
