Hey there,

   My Decstation 5000/240 has one of the busted proms that can
not boot using tftp.  I would like to use mop, like I do for my
Vaxen, but I see no mop versions of install, nor an a.out version
that I can make into mop... Is anyone else using mop boots?  

   I do see an elf version of install which, in theory, I could use 
to elf2aout to create what I need, but I don't see any source for
netbsd's elf2aout either.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

   BTW I noticed that the mopd binary that comes with the NetBSD 1.5 Sparc
distrubution is broken.  It needs to be recompiled with one minor
change, namely includeing "sys/time.h".  Without this fix the binary cores out 
when the mop server tries to create a timestamp.

Thanks,
