	OK, I think I've done most of it right...

	Here's the setup. Linux box (Red Hat, 5.1, 2.0.34 kernel) configured to be
a MOP/Bootserver.

	First kicker: I can't seem to find the executable 'rpc.bootparamd' as
referenced in the netbooting HowTo. I've done a full-disk search, and this
file does not seem to exist anywhere on the Linux system drive from root on
down the tree.

	Second kicker (and I strongly suspect this is related to the first): When
I give the VAXStation II/GPX system the command 'b/100 esa0' (sans quotes),
it responds as it should with 'Bootfile:'

	I tell it mopboot. Almost immediately, it comes back with:

	?41 DEVASSIGN, ESA0
	?06 HLT INST
	    PC = 00000EE6
	Failure.
>>>

	Assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
