I load my big-iron VAXen by MOP booting them directly

using an Infoserver. I suppose you could use NetBSD mopd to do
something similar, but it's much easier with the Infoserver, which is
designed specifically for that purpose.
If you can get your hands on an Infoserver, I highly recommend it.
No problem getting an infoserver, I must admit slight embarrassment at not
remembering that, also in not remembering that the infoserver was the
recommended load device for the 6xxx series VAXen. I hope my infoserver
isn't at work since I'm not going to be back there till next Thursday....
Ah, a slight problem in that my DELNI *is* at work along with my AUI-BNC
transceivers and I know I won't be able to fuss around with netbooting
things on the corporate network - I'd have to create an AUI or thinwire
network to do it.
Thanks for the reminder though :)
