IMHO, there are better boxes out there to run NetBSD on.

Anyway-to the question: Neither NetBSD 2.0 or 3.0
will install
successfully. They both segfault, usually during install but once I got
3.0 installed and it was very limited functionality. Officially the
3176 is supported, but is NetBSD known to be tempermental? (I'm not
sure if it's the VAX or the software - VMS boots fine, but if the
system's wonky I won't bother with it anymore).
Hi Scott,
I have a stock VAXstation 3100 m76 here, with fully functional external
SCSI and framebuffer.
I've just given up trying to get NetBSD installed onto it. Like you,
I encountered all kinds of segfaults trying to get it installed. It's
really frustrating, because NetBSD runs fine on my 3100 m30s!
I wonder if it's just something about the m76 that NetBSD is
particularly unhappy about.
