Hi

Another DEQNA netboot program is now available.

I would consider it prealpha. It outputs a lot of debug information and is
slow (uses at least 3 minutes.) The network driver is not exactly robust.

The binary is at:
ftp.nvg.ntnu.no:/pub/NetBSD/DEQNA/v0.01/boot2

It is an ordinary MOP format file like boot.mopformat, and is used just
like prescribed at
http://world.std.com/~bdc/projects/vaxen/VAX-netboot-HOWTO.html

I booted a MVAX II via MOP on an Ultrix/VAX machine, and did the
rarp/bootparam/nfs via a Linux/P75 machine. (The latter may have had some
influences on the network driver timing.)
