You have tried a recent boot.mopformat (from multivac.ludd.luth.se)?

The NetBSD DEQNA/DELQA netboot does not always work.
The standalone driver may be missing something (internal processor
register settings, Qbus configuration etc). 
Since I've recently acquired the etftp sources, I might have better
chances of figuring out what might be wrong.

Otherwise, there is software from Athena BSD43 that works.

(Read ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/mailing-lists/port-vax/port-vax.0180,
search for the word etftp.)
