>Description:
	The mop implementation shipped with NetBSD is able to serve
	VAX/a.out files only; the pmax install notes refer to mop
	booting in the context of Ultrix only which makes the issue
	~pointless.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Find out that tftp is broken in your machine's particular
	PROM version; be stumped when you find out that you really
	need an Ultrix machine to boot from.

>Fix:
	A pointer into the right direction would be appreciated
	(ELF -> ECOFF + MOP header?); I can take care of implementing
	it.  (The Alpha port might also benefit from this, albeit it's
	probably less likely to be suffering from tftp firmware braindamage.)
