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.

If you are on a Q-bus or Unibus system the disk controller(s) need
be at the standard CSR addresses for DUA (772150) or DUB (760334)
to be recognized by the kernel and boot programs.

If you are installing on a VAXstation you
.Em may
require a serial console.
