Is there a diagnostic image that is bootable via MOP on
a VAX that does
diagnostics?
Hmm, you said XXDP in the title, then you ask about VAX in the body.
But no, I don't know of any net-bootable diagnostics for -11's or VAXen.
I'm interested in testing some Q-bus boards of
unknown
integrity and this would seem to be one way to do it. I have the capability
to write a bootable MOP image but before I write my own diagnostics I
thought I'd see what else had been done.
The easiest way to do this, I think, would be to boot full-fledged VMS from
another VMScluster member. You know, VMS, that OS that has had clustering for
fifteen years or so now? :-)
