Booting off the net sounds like a wonderful idea. It would certainly
make installation & testing much easier. Is it possible to make DEC
stations speak something other than mop? Or, does anybody understand
enough about how mop works to make a netbsd kernel boot diskless?
Or am I just confused & it would be trivial to use something standard
like rarpd/tftp/bootparamd?
