Mats Jansson's (moj@stacken.kth.se) mopd implementation doesn't grok
ECOFF (or ELF) format files.  See mopd(8). 

You might actually have better luck using an a.out NetBSD/pmax kernel,
and tweaking mopa.out to grok mips CPU types as well as th Vax CPU
type (which is all it currently supports).  But that's just a guess.
