Definitely - there was a time when it booted fine on VAXstation 4000 and similar but not so much on older machines which really used VMB (I was the cause of one such breakage when I tried bumping the default disklabel partitions to 16), but all that was cleared up before 7.0 Gregg - have you tried the stock NetBSD-7 iso from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-7.0/images/ ?
