VAX machines usually need little or no preparation before installing
|
|
NetBSD, other than the usual, well advised precaution of BACKING UP
|
|
ALL DATA on any attached storage devices.

You will need to know the CSR address of your disk controller(s) if
|
|
they are on a Qbus/Unibus. The disk controllers must then be at
|
|
either 772150 (DUA) or 760334 (DUB). These two addresses are the
|
|
only recognized by the kernel and boot programs.
|

Also; if you are installing on a VAXstation, note that the only supported
|
|
built-in console is the monochrome graphics on some VS3100's. If you
|
|
have another graphic card or machine you
|
|
.Em must
|
|
have a serial console.
