It was pretty bad last time I tried to run NetBSD on

NetBSD 1.5.2 or something like that I was able to install via mopboot on my
MicroVax 3600 and a few VaxStation 3100's. Years later I tried to boot it
up again and it couldn't boot without crashing. I tried a later release
and it wasn't much better. Install went OK, but the userland code was
compiled with some funky options that caused it to throw invalid
instruction exceptions. By then I had my VMS hobbyist kit.

Just as an added data point, I don't have any VAX running
at the moment but I have installed and run NetBSD-8.0 from
the iso. I have also MOP Booted using that version.
