I might have mentioned something about this a while ago.  I did a
quick and dirty modification of Mats' mopd to be able to boot a
DECserver 200 from a Linux box.  I can't remember if I ever got it
working or if I decided to write my own mop loader.  I've been kind of
busy since then (mostly work related) and haven't had time to look at
my code for a couple of months.  Drop me a mail and remind me and I'll
try to dig up my old sources and see if they work.
