unlikely you will find a cdrom drive from which you can install VMS. Mine
is running VMS 7.2 and NetBSD 1.5.2. After MUCH screwing around I finally
just went out and got an RRD40 to install systems software.
I'd be willing to bet that one of the drives sitting here will boot
VMS. At least 2 of them will boot & install VMS on the Alpha. You just
have to talk sweet and hold your mouth right. Failing that, I'll go
downstairs & rape the AXP 150. It has an RRD4x drive. I can't remember
if it's a 40 or 42.
