>Description:
The mop implementation shipped with NetBSD is able to serve
VAX/a.out files only; the pmax install notes refer to mop
booting in the context of Ultrix only which makes the issue
~pointless.
>How-To-Repeat:
Find out that tftp is broken in your machine's particular
PROM version; be stumped when you find out that you really
need an Ultrix machine to boot from.
>Fix:
A pointer into the right direction would be appreciated
(ELF -> ECOFF + MOP header?); I can take care of implementing
it. (The Alpha port might also benefit from this, albeit it's
probably less likely to be suffering from tftp firmware braindamage.)

I investigated this recently. I know little about the MOP protocol,
and haven't been able to find any specifications on it.

I didn't place the project on high priority. I will setup an Ultrix
machine to establish a starting point.

The development of mopd has always been driven by my needs :-)
I added ecoff to mopd a couple of years ago but that version has never
been released. It shouldn't be hard to back port it to the "current"
version. Give me a couple of days and i might be able to release
something...
