Checked it :-)

and where do i find the boot_mop? I've tried some of the ecoff files just
to have a ecoff file... even tried `/boot'

This first message is printed indeed... just the second doesn't come
:-((.. the DEC just won't ack it... The NetBSD/sparc tells :

Dec  9 21:56:14 rangerover mopd[666]: 8:0:2b:37:62:cb (1) Do you have
08002b3762cb? (Yes)

and moptrace tells

Dst          : 8:0:2b:37:62:cb  
Src          : 8:0:20:18:a7:22  
Proto        : 6001 MOP Dump/Load
Length       : 0001 (1)
Code         :   03 Assistance volunteer


I guess the DEC didn't know what to do with this code 03... different
protol version???

Hmm.... getting a bit sad... and i have no docs about mop either...

Tanks again,
