DEQNA and DELQA netbooting works quite well now. I don't know about
directly bootloading the kernel. I think the official limit for MOPable
images on older VAXen is 64KB, and then at some point it was upped to
256KB. In practice I think we managed around 1000KB on the systems,
including the VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX II. The Linux port has just
been directly MOPing their initial kernel attempts.
