Evenen all,

I recently managed to netboot my uVAX II, but when it came to getting
the install sets, I'm stuck.

The options I had were to install sets from tape and disk.

I have a Compact Tape (1 or 2) in the machine, but no way of getting
anything onto them.

However I suppose its possible to move a disk into a PC running openbsd,
find an appropriate disk controller and copy the install set over,
replace disk and install the sets from disk..

Is this reasonable?

If so what is the PC 'word' for the controller type that the uVAX II
came with? MFM, RLL, ESDI?

regards,

Kim
