It looks like this is my problem...

"VAX-11/7xx, VAX 6000, VAX 7000, VAX 8xxx, VAX
9000, and VAX 10000 series systems require a sys-
tem disk that is accessed via a local adapter or
through a local CI or DSSI connection. These sys-
tems cannot be configured to boot as satellite nodes."
I don't know what you problem is but I'm sure that I
believed that booting a VAX 6000/7000 series system over
the net was possible. Specifically, I think I used to do
this with a VAX 6000 while at DEC.
This suggests that I'm not completely crazy:

A real manual suggests I'm not completely nuts too:

For booting from an InfoServer you have to pick the right
image (i.e. "big" VAXen and "little" VAXen need different
forms of TLC).
You also say:
I've also
successfully booted the firmware update utility (LFU) and the file
"ISL_LVAX_073.SYS" that comes on the install CD, through MOP.
So you have booted your VAX 7000 over MOP.
Obviously I'm missing something ...
