BlackCoffeeDrinker picked up a MicroVAX 3100 M40, and gave me (NCommander), access to it. I am accessing this machine entirely remotely. Currently, only console and networking is plugged in, although there's a 4 GiB DEC SCSI hard drive that appears to have been used as a scratch partition.
These are my notes, write-ups and adventures as I go through this machine.
Current Status
- Successfully netbooted into NetBSD 7.1
- Currently not booting Ultrix 4.5 from network
- HDD read successful, appears to be a scratch drive from use in a VAXCluster(?)
- Identified problem in lcg0 which is a framebuffer device thaqt this VAX does not have. It's not active on the install kernel
The Plan
Right now, I'm looking to get NetBSD 10 running on it.
Screenshots
VAX running dnetc -bench
