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.
