I didn't read the whole story, but the file simply is no longer there, because
the bugs of DHCP and stuff are away in newer booters. It runs fine with DHCP
here now, and if you want BOOTPARAMS, you may want to compile a booter with
BOOTP/DHCP disabled. (If i find this strange problem with my DSSI harddisk
on the VAX 4000/300, i can compile a version for you).

Just use DHCP, this works fine.

so long... Michael
