   Well, NetBSD-10 GENERIC doesn't boot on the MicroVAX.

   NetBSD 10-INSTALL *does*, and will infact boot a system off the HDD if its recompiled to remove the RAMdisk.

   We're going to bave to do some debugging next stream.

     Having spent 30 minutes doing *something else*, this could a PTY problem, as that's one of the major differences between INSTALL and GENERIC, and the behavior seems like its just bad console data (as if it was using the wrong baud speed).

     At this point it's going to require finding what config options influence the behavior, and then bisecting that code to find the problem.

     So when I asked people who 'tested' NetBSD-10, they confirmed that the CD boots.

     I haven't found a confirmed report of *installed to HDD yet*.

     This is tomorrows project.
