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 -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Fred Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 21:52 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: RE: [HECnet] Boot VAX from Alpha host Infoserver?
