So I finally got the needed MMJ serial cables and got my VAXstation 3100 setup
using the Solbourne S3000 as a serial console. The boot monitor comes up
just fine in cu, but the machine remains at the boot monitor and does not
start VMS.
TEST 50 says ?41 DEVASSIGN, TEST
A SHOW DEV shows an ESA0, which I assume is the 10b2 Ethernet because it
shows a MAC address, and a DKA0, which is a 1.05GB drive.
So, I do BOOT DKA0 and it appears to start (transcribed from my Android,
sorry for typos):

%SYSBOOT-I-SYSBOOT SYSDUMP.DMP on System Disk successfully mapped

**** Fatal BUG CHECK, version = V7.2 KRNLSTAKNV, Kernal stack [cut]

Being a total novice to VMS system administration, what should I be looking
at?

Check out this page for an idea of boot flags to try:

Have you tried a DIAG boot? Maybe this webpage has some good info:

At a guess, either a hardware fault or a corrupt disk. One way to work out
which it is is to boot VMS off the network. To do that you can create a
working VMS system on SIMH and then add your physical machine as a satellite
to the simulated machine.

proper tooling and began making my own ;)
Shame the USPS decided to make international shipping pretty much cost

was sending out tons of small cables internationally (including lots of

You can send stuff under 4lbs USPS First Class international Parcel
which is super cheap. The problem is no real tracking and no insurance.
If it is lost or damaged it's just gone. No claims no appeals. Just
poof. There are also very limited ways to print postage for first class
international parcels online. They don't make it easy. You can do it at
any post office though.
It is very cheap for small things. Something like a MMJ cable might be
$5 to pretty much anywhere in Europe. As things get heavier the
difference between it and Priority International start to disappear
though. When you get up towards the limit it is just a dollar or two
different and doesn't make any sense.

Speaking as a total VMS newbie, 7.3 is what the VMS Hobbyist folks
distribute for VAX. I think VAX is limited to 7.x, but I'll stop
somewhat short of just declaring that. :-)
In any case, I was able to do 7.3 from the CD just fine on SIMH,
so you'll probably be OK.

So I did this. First time through, it appeared to boot happily and asked
for the date and time, let me log in, and then crashed, so I never got to
the point where I could PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT.
Next and all subsequent times through, it crashes at the same point above
without even getting to a Username: prompt, MIN or conversational boot or
otherwise.

CDs came with it; I haven't examined them. I should make sure they work in

You should be able to netboot a physical machine via a simh-based

Did anybody mention the non-standard *terminator*? The 68-pin

Yes, but as has been mentioned, if you have a suitable 50-pin SCSI CDROM
drive and the media, it is easier to use that. You either need the special
external cable, or as has been mentioned before take the lid off and use the
internal 50-pin SCSI cable directly.
I also ordered a SCSI cable as per Glen's link, so we'll try

You may need to generate licenses first. They have a whole new license
deal happening. I think the entire VMS hobbyist program at HP is really
just one guy. John Egolf. When you submit the license request he emails
you the license script from his own HP email address. I replied to his
email with the license file attached and he answered in a matter of
minutes. He has answered my other questions quickly too but, I imagine
he is only available mon-fri during PST business hours.
