I have used a DEC Infoserver to MOP boot and install VMS on many VAXen. Could NetBSD be setup to do the same?

That (or something similar) is what I'd like here, yes. Ideally just MOP boot a NetBSD INSTALL kernel, but if it needs to do the two-step by MOP booting a boot loader and doing dhcp/tftp to get the INSTALL kernel that would be fine.

This is how I normally have been netbooting NetBSD on VAXen.
