The boot loader is compiled out of source code, it is not placed as
binary in the CVS repository. I suspect reverting the source back to
1.5.1 is no solution as this may break other things. There is only one
proper solution: A helpfull soul has to dig into the code and find out
what is failing and why, then fix the code and submit patches upstream.
As I am currently working on the SPX and LCG console drivers I have no
time left for this task.

Maybe it is no problem of the boot code. It may be in mopd(8) or
mopcopy(1)...

You may take this also as:=20
  Who ever reads this, feel invited to debug and fix the problem.

You may take this also as:
  This is the short term solution until some kind soul has fixed the
  problem.

Maye we should add a note about the netboot loader in the FAQ and
netboot HOWTO?
