Why don't you install over the network? It would be somewhat time consuming, but trying to find a working CD-ROM drive isn't fast either. Set up a Simh instance as a cluster boot server and the VAXstation as a satellite without local paging or swapping, boot it, initialize its internal disk, restore the B saveset onto it, copy the other savesets to the root directory, shutdown, reboot from the local disk and proceed from there. :) Otherwise, if you have a spare SCSI disk, you could dump the installation image onto it (e.g. with dd) and use it as if it were a CD-ROM. Otherwise, if you have an Infoserver (either hardware or software) use it. :) HTH, G.
