Hi everyone, 

I have recently come into aquirement of a DECStation 5000

I've discovered that the Linux support is only just beggining, but
that NetBSD should suffice. 

I've begun downloading appropriate binary install files from some
bsd site, and am reading install docs currently. 

Problem is, I need another BSD computer (or ULTRIX actually) to
mount the scsi drives I have to run the 'disklablel' program on
them so I can write the miniroot to them so I can boot the DECStation
and begin the install.

So, does anyone have something appropriate I can mount the drives
in? Preferably on the UQ campus but willing to travel. 

Thanks,
Chris.

ps. Anyone have a cheap(free?) AUI -> BNC transciever?
