i believe it'll be "bootp, tftp, nfs."

_HOWEVER_ (~2 year old information follows) note that at least some of
the 'newer' firmware versions for the 3000/300 models (and possibly
other 3000/* models) are _broken_ and do not do netbooting correctly.
(IP checksum miscalculations, IIRC.)  What's more amusing is that
older versions of the firmware worked, and that when the bug was
reported to firmware people at DEC they came back claiming "hardware
error, you need a system board upgrade to fix it."
