It always has! mopd was originally written for NetBSD, I ported it to
linux so I could boot my VAXstation (for VAXlinux etc).. I wasn't
expecting anyone to use it to boot NetBSD on a VAX from a linux box..
(I'm surprised it works at all).
BTW Thanx for this thread, it has been very interesting seeing people
boot NetBSD from NFS exported from Linux .
Try doing that with Windows :)
