Unfortunately, I don't think a VAX can run a PDP-11 operating system in compatibility mode (and I'm not sure the MicroVAX has compatibility mode anyway), so it can run neither 2.9BSD nor Ultrix-11. It can, however, run 4.2BSD - which is what it does when it runs MicroUltrix or whatever they call the MicroVAX version of Ultrix-32 which is the DEC version of 4.2BSD.
