Hi all,

I have a VAX 4000/2000 that I just started up for the first time since August. 
I used to boot it from a 4000/90 running 1.5.2, and that set-up had no
problems.  In the meantime, though, I wiped the 4000/90 and put a clean install
of 1.6 on it.  It is currently correctly configured as the boot server for the
4k/200.   However, mopd's ELF support seems to be broken somehow on this
platform.  When loading the 1.6 bootloader, I get:

?50 SCB2NDINT, EZA0
?06 HLT INST
        PC = 00000D42


The system will correctly load a 1.5 1st stage bootloader over MOP, and will
even boot a 1.5.3 kernel, but obviously none of this is of any use to those of
us who would like to run 1.6.  Does something need to be patched in the mopd
source code for ELF support, perhaps?
