None of the raboot/rdboot/bootra/bootrd combos get
any farther than the cryptic "loading boot" message.
The "loading boot" message comes from the bootblock code and indicates
that the bootblocks are good and working. If it stops there, it means
that you are missing the /boot file in the root filesystem (that's what
it's loading).

New subject: Bringing up any 4.3BSD on a MicroVAX without tape....
Hello from Gregg C Levine
I have here a DEC VAXstation 3100M76.
It is in the same boat as the one Robert is writing about. I know I
can install NetBSD/vax on it using the net boot concept. But I'd like
to run one of the appropriate distributions from "our" collection. Any
suggestions?

The /boot is there, so it is somewhere between the bootblocks
and /boot that the connection is lost. The /boot is apparently
not correctly found. But, it is there......
