He could also just fix the RD53 and boot off that, then transfer to the
much faster SCSI. I still keep the RX02's around on my pdp11 because I
can boot BRU64k for tape backups. It works. :-)

If you want to try other options, maybe you could put
some minimal boot
code on a MOP server and have your MV2000 boot from that over the network
before it tries to access your SCSI disk? Or put some code on a floppy disk
and boot from that? If you have a suitable adapter cable, you can plug a
5.25in HD floppy drive into your MV2000 provided it can be jumpered suitably
to look line an RX33. My experience with random PC drives says some can
and some can't. A 3.5in drive can also be used but the ROMs are expecting
an RX33 so an RX33 disk image should be written to the 3.5in floppy.
