You've kidding! Someone has booted a VMS box off
of a Linux system!?!?!
Whoa, that is seriously cool! Got any pointers to that? I personally
don't want to try that, and since I've got a cluster going already, have no
reason to, but the idea is cool!
Technically this should not be that unreasonable to do. The Linux box
only has to be able to serve MOP boot and then at some point DECnet.
Most MicroVAXen already know MOP over eithernet so the rest is up to the
boot host.
This is more important to those that would like to run a uVAX with VMS and
not have a suitable install load media on the vax when they have a PC with
CDrom.
