CD booting from NetBSD may work. What I found was that
tape booting NetBSD quietly stopped working YEARS ago,
and the FAQ was never updated. I spent a whole day
trying to figure out why it wouldn't boot before I got
the response on port-vax "oh, yeah, just mop boot it".
And at that time I didn't realize I had an ethernet
card.
And just for the sake of discussion, you can also use your MVII
diskless. At one point I had so many of them, that I just removed all
the drives and run them diskless, all the data were on FreeBSD.
(No real preference of FreeBSD over NetBSD, the system just had bigger
drives at this time)
