	Use elf2aout on the ELF kernel. It's present if you installed the 
compiler tools. AFAIK, there is no two-stage MOP boot loader like NetBSD/VAX.
I wish there was. It would be nice to be able to use the MOP boot loader to
load gziped ELF kernels instead of waiting for an uncompressed aout kern to
download.

	Greg McGarry has a working two-stage network bootloader on his web page,
check http://www.sprc.qut.edu.au/~mcgarry/netbsd/netboot/   I think it can be
loaded
by either TFTP or MOP.
