Hi

I'm looking for info if it is possible to netboot a Jensen using a DE422
card. I've read quite a bit of paperwork, but most/all examples use a DE425
for netbooting. 

The firmware update docs describe a netboot using either MOP or BOOTP, but
with a DE425.

What I have in the box is:

>>> sho conf
DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP - ROM Version 2.2

Alpha AXP SRM Firmware Version - 370
VMS PAL X5.48/OSF PAL X1.35 - Built on 12-FEB-1996 13:08:14.13

Eisa Info       Devnam      Devstat

                NVR         OK

4
5 DEC4220       NI          OK 08-00-2B-36-86-0C
6

And:

>>> boot ez0a
INIT-S-CPU...
AUDIT_BOOT_STARTS ... 

  84 FAIL

>>>

tcpdump from another box does not see anything on the wire. And the boot
command fails very quickly.

Thoughts?
