>Description:
	After mucking about trying to MOP boot a new SRM image on a DS10L
	and failing (repeately), a review of the source revealed that I 
	was passing the filename in the wrong format.  Actually, I was
	including the filename's extension, when I shouldn't have been.

	The mopd.8 manual page didn't say anything about mopd
	automatically appending `.SYS' to any provided file name, so I
	was providing it.  Once I looked at the source, I understood
	what I was doing wrong, but this was after several hours of
	trying to do it just from the man pages..
>How-To-Repeat:
	naively attempt to MOP boot an alpha system..
>Fix:
	Here is a small update to the mopd.8 manual page to document
	that mopd automatically appends a `.SYS' suffix.
