New to the list.  I am acquiring a Vaxstation 3100 soon, and I plan to 
run NetBSD on it.  I will  use an NFS mount for at least some of its 
disk space.  It has a drive but it is small by comparison to the one on 
my PC.  I have netbsd running on the PC dual booting with Debian
Linux.  I will have to set up the network to do the installation anyway 
so I might as well
go ahead and set up the NFS to do normal daily work as well.  No CDROM 
on the Vaxstation.

The documentation on both the Vax CD and the i386 CD is very clear and 
easy to understand.

I had a slight problem figuring out how to mount the CD in NetBSD but 
someone in the irc
channel helped out with that.  

I don't want to start a religious war by mentioning Linux, NetBSD, or 
OpenBSD all in the same message, I am just trying what I was told will 
work for this vax.  

Eventually I would like to learn how to do some assembly-level stuff on 
the vax.  Since I
don't already know any Vax assembler I suppose it will be easy to adapt 
to the one already
in the toolchain.
