Hello,

We have recently acquired a VAX 11/730 with RL02 and RA80 disk drives,
and a TU58 tape drive.  What we need to know is this:  

    - How can you install ULTRIX on this beast,  given the only
      seemingly usefull installation media is the ethernet.

    - Are there any bootstraps on TU58 tape for doing a kind of network
      boot? (IE Attempt to configure it as a diskless machine at first?)

Any help or experience with these machine will be greatly appreciated.
