Actually entering a bootstrap isn't _too_ painful, typically only a couple 
dozen lines. I believe the VAX monitor can boot RL devices as DLxx, MSCP 
devices as DUxx, TMSCP devices as MUxx, and TS05 type devices (I don't know 
their code however).

Somewhere I've got the manual that describes the ROM commands... just takes 
time to dig it out.
