Unless something has drastically changed, the NetBSD mopd only supports
loading a.out images to vaxes.  It doesn't have ecoff support at all
(which is what DECstations use to boot).  I've got some patches, but
AFAIK they would only work on another DECstation at the moment and are
not in a state that could be added to the NetBSD tree.

As others have suggested, try to use just dhcpd and tftp.  Here's my
complete home /etc/dhcpd.conf:

	option  domain-name             "thistledown.com.au";
	option  domain-name-servers     thoreau.thistledown.com.au, way.thistledown.com.au;

	subnet  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.224 {
		option  routers         way.thistledown.com.au;
	}

	group {
		use-host-decl-names on;
		host shark {
			hardware ethernet       08:00:2b:81:60:0c;
			fixed-address           shark.thistledown.com.au;
			server-name             "thoreau";
			filename                "shark/netbsd";
			option  root-path       "/tftpboot/shark";
		}

		host xterm {
			hardware ethernet       08:00:2b:2a:29:08;
			fixed-address           xterm.thistledown.com.au;
			server-name             "thoreau";
			filename                "ultrix/xterm";
		}

		host nader {
			hardware ethernet       00:00:c0:91:17:87;
			fixed-address           nader.thistledown.com.au;
		}
	}

"xterm" is a 5000/133 (don't worry that it says Ultrix - there's bad
black magic involved there, but it's basically a netbsd-type kernel
thingy).
