I apologize in advance .. I may well be posting this in the wrong forum. If so, if someone would be so kind as to redirect me offline I would appreciate it.
I have a uVAX 3900 I rescued about 10 years ago. It was headed for a dumpster. It has two 300 meg drives and 16M of RAM, one non-functional tape drive, and a qbus card I have a 10 meg network adapter plugged into. It had VMS v 5.something on it I believe at the time. Over the years I (inadvertently) mangled that installation trying to learn VMS and ended up putting an instance of OpenBSD on it. I did this by running mopd on another unix box and booting the VAX over the network. I would like to install VMS on it again, but not sure how to get it there. The tape drive doesn't pull tape anymore. I'm thinking you VMS experts know a way I can use my SIMH VAX VMS emulation to boot the real VAX from? I'm thinking it is possible to boot VMS this way, and/or do a VMS installation this way, correct? Again, I realize this isn't a purely SIMH post, so if more appropriate to contact me offline, please do. Any direct help or just pointers to an online resource would be much appreciated. Thanks!
