Uh, are you sure about that?

Jensens use (or at least used to use) the "old SRM," not the "new SRM"
that's found in AlphaStations.  On old-SRM systems, if you netbooted
using the VMS-ish console device name, it'd use MOP, and if you
netbooted using the UNIX-ish console device name, it'd use BOOTP.
