Not entirely. WE can't just switch to MOP: there are PROM revisions
which don't MOP-boot reliably, either.  And MOP doesn't really work
through gateways.

Yes, it would be very nice if we had a pmax MOP loader. Unfortunately,
the authors of the existing MOP implementations were a little
VAX/a.out-centric.  If you (or anyone else) wanted to fix that,
though, it'd be a great project.
