Booting a vaxstation from a decstation?

[mark edwards]

We are thinking about buying some machines. One idea that I had was to 
use a DecStation 3100 as disk server and buy diskless VaxStation 3100.
I glanced through the Diskless Management Guide in Ultrix and could 
not find any reference that it couldn't be done. I know that all 
satellite workstations could have their own root file system and thus 
their own kernels, but what about the /usr file system? There was
some reference to a shared usr file system but it wasn't clear what
it was. Anybody have any thoughts or ideas on this?

If this is possible then what about a Diskless NeXT booting off of 
a DecStation 3100?


thanks
