I wrote a article in DEC Professional Magazine describing how do to this in
some detail.  I've since done it several times.  It's quite easy, and requires
no special skills, no hacking, etc.  It's probably even supported, as long as
you either use a DEC disk on the used market (quite cheap) or something close
(even cheaper) and don't screw up.

The article appeared in about June-August 1989.  I don't recall the exact
issue, but if you can't find it let me know and I'll find it for you and send
you a copy.  You can also log on to DEC Pro's bulletin board system (called
ARIS) and get the text of the article yourself.
