Yes, I know :-)
As I've already wrote I had it netbooting NetBSD until the point where
the shell should be going started, but I had to port the SLU driver from
the netbsd-pmax port to get it really working. Next thing is that with
that defect marked config memory page that gets overwritten from NetBSD.
I've to dumb to figure that things out and the netbsd people where'nt
relally interrested at all (almost nobody has such cards).
Otherwise the Gate arrays and the ISA cards interface to the PC bus
aren't documented at all, at least I could'nt find any docs for it.

I think I've read the description "VAX-Brick" for that rtVAX300 in the
port-...@netbsd.org mailing list, so that isn't my invention, the fact
that a VAX 4000-50 called VAX-Brick exsists was mentioned there too.
