Gentlemen,
I just acquired a DECstation 5000/240 with 40 megs of ram. It doesn't
appear to have a framebuffer. None of the turbochannel slots are used.
I got a serial console up and reset the nvram. I had hoped to bring up
NetBSD diskless but, to my dismay, I discover that my prom version will
not boot via tftp. Rats!
I currently lack the cabling to hook up a scsi drive.
I see that this prom will try mop. I tried that and mopd over yonder sees
a request and will try to send a file. But what to send? Is there a
secondary boot loader that this box can get via mop and that then can grab
and run a kernel?
Regards,
- Greg
