.. and I did some more research. A tcpdump on my linux shows several of
these lines:
23:12:54.133405 vaxine.ep.1023 > 10.255.255.255.sunrpc: udp 96

The Vax displays this:
 nfs_boot: trying RARP (and RPC/bootparam)
 nfs_boot: client_addr=0xa000042 (RARP from 0xa000001)
 nfs_boot: timeout... (several of these)

I doublechecked the netboot faq, and I think I got everything right - mop
has to work, because it's getting the bootloader. bootparamd should be up
too, because it knows where to get the kernel. The kernel loads, and
something goes wrong.. ?

Kind regards,
HC
