Hi,

I tried installing OpenBSD 4.1 on my VAX 4000/90 but could not get the base 
operating system on. I booted via netboot from an Alpha running OpenBSD 4.1. 
I tried installing the tarballs via ftp, nfs and cd. Can anyone help please?

Here are the errors I get (first is via NFS from an OpenBSD Alpha 4.1 box, 
second is ftp from a mirror. The CD attempt gave various read errors.

Any help gratefully appreciated. As a last resort I can try writing them 
directly to the disk from the Alpha box.

Please reply direct to this email address, thanks.

Mark.
