/tftpboot/mop/08002b1d15ce.SYS: symbolic link to `boot.mop'
/tftpboot/mop/08002b2ffa1e.SYS: symbolic link to `boot.mop'
/tftpboot/mop/08002b30a3d4.SYS: symbolic link to `boot.mop'
/tftpboot/mop/08002bbf4625.SYS: symbolic link to `boot.mop'
/tftpboot/mop/boot.mop:         ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Digital 
VAX, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

And mopd on my sparc64 boots my VS4000/90A just fine.
