  Deborah,

Thank you for your message.

I tried a different approach - I copied the hard disc image and tried an 
upgrade.  I had a few errors to do with groups, but basically it worked 
and I now have NetBSD/Vax 5.0.2 working.  I am hoping that Perl works 
better than it did running 3.1 - it kept core dumping on that (I have no 
idea if the problem was with Perl, the compiler that built Perl, with 
NetBSD, with Simh or any combination of the above).

I am running with 64MB of RAM to the guest VAX, perhaps I should up that.

Having said that, thanks so much for the boot script, I will give that a 
go and keep you informed

-Nigel
