I hacked together support for the NetBSD mopd to boot ecoff kernels
and posted the patches to port-pmax.  I could boot kernels ok on a
DECstation that couldn't tftp boot.  Someone (sorry, I forgot who off
the top of my head) was going to try to get ELF kernel support done for
them.  I dig up more info if anyone is interested.
