Can you mop-boot NetBSD from RSX? :-) )Interesting question. I would expect so, but you'd need to get the image in the proper format for the RSX MOP server. Doable, but I doubt there is enough interest to go down that path. :-)But if someone really wanted to, I guess I could create a tool to convert images. VMS would use the same image format, I believe. DECserver images from DEC were possible to be provided from both RSX and VMS by the same file.
The boot program is available in MOP format. Would that work? :-) https://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-1.4/vax/installation/netboot/boot.mop -- R
