OpenBSD/vax OSREV runs on a wide variety of VAX hardware, although only
the following systems have been tested:
	- VAXstation/MicroVAX 2000
	- VAXstation 3100/{30,40}
	- VAXstation 3100/{38,48}
	- VAXstation 3100/76
	- VAXstation 4000/60
	- MicroVAX 3100/{10,20}{,e}
	- MicroVAX 3100/80
	- MicroVAX 3100/90
	- MicroVAX 3300
	- VAX 4000/100
	- VAX 4000/105
	- VAX 4000/300

Ethernet devices:
	- on-board MicroVAX or VAXstation LANCE 
	- DEC SGEC 

SCSI:
	- on-board SCSI is supported on all tested systems but the
	  VAXstation/MicroVAX 2000 and the VAX 4000/300
	
Serial ports:
	- DZ*11 lines (also DZ*11 compatible lines on VAXstations)

The lowest amount of memory tested is 6M; however, more is recommended.
At the moment, the only supported console is a serial console.

Currently, your only storage options for using OpenBSD/vax are SCSI 
disks or tapes on one of the supported controllers, or a NFS root and 
swap.  Please see below for details.
