Also dhcp. Which is also easy enough since libsa handles both. Then one can load an INSTALL kernel very easily over the network and install that way.
DHCP is supported.  Needed to get the address of the nfs server :-)

Cool! Then one can also have the dhcp server tell the client what kernel to get via tftp! Would this be fairly straightfoward? I used to know the x86 boot blocks pretty well but have barely looked at the Vax ones.
Yes, should be simple to fix.
The vax boot program do not differ very much from the other architectures.
