Oh, that's a work of art.  Thank you for the pointer.

In my particular case, in my simulator, I've found it significantly
easier to get a DEQNA simulation working than an MSCP disk simulation,
so netbooting is the medium of choice.  And, since the KA630 ROMs don't
do any other form of netboot as far as I know, that means MOP.

Fortunately, all the pieces are there.  My house network's NFS server
even still had all the MOP configuration in place.
