[Simh] NetBSD 4.0 on SIMH/VAX

Has anyone successfully installed NetBSD 4.0 on SIMH/VAX?

I tried using the vaxcd.iso image for NetBSD 4.0 and 3.0, and both  
halt right after attempting to boot.  I'm using the ore-compwindows  
binaries for SIMH 3.8-0.  I tried the ones with and without Ethernet  
support.

Several years ago, I had NetBSD 2.0 or 1.6 running in SIMH.

I also tried OpenBSD 4.3, which boots fine, but fails during  
installation while untarring base43.tgz.

I will try netbooting a real microvax with NetBSD once I get mopd  
running on my Linux machine.  Last time I ran it was with RedHat 7.2,  
and I'm not sure if it will run on Fedora Core 7 that I'm running now.
