[HECnet] Boot VAX from Alpha host Infoserver?

[Steve Davidson]

Fred,

Send me the MAC address of your ethernet adapter (on the VAX).   I can
enable remote boot from my end.   It will be slower than local, but you
will be able to do whatever you need to the system and its disks.   Using
VMS phone I can walk you thru it in pseudo-real-time... :-)   I will be
on STARS2::

-Steve

Which model are you using?   I may have one here to check.

NEC Multispin 4X model CDR-601 (it's external).

Re: number of drives in the 90A.   There's just one at the moment, but I 
have a BA3xx shelf that I've been sacrificing drives out of.   It's just
a 
screwdriver away to get more (it was fully populated).

Re #2: login to MISER.   If the above two ideas fail, I'll whip together
an 
account for you to look around.
