It was thus said that the Great Allison J Parent once
stated:
It does, assuming you use the right device name for the Ethernet.
There is a MOP demon for Linux that some NetBSD folks have used to boot a
2000 diskless; you could look into that for info about the boot protocol.

<B CSA0 ,,, Allison'd probably know better on this...
You have three bootable devices...
B DUA0 *RD5x in the box, never seen one external but it can be done.
B MUA0 or 7 *tk50 tape I forget the device number as it's slow.
B XQA0 *boot via eithernet. It was possible to run them diskless.
B does the default device first (dua0) then tape then eithernet.
Does this also apply to the uVAX 2000 (or are they in fact the same
thing?) Also, do you have the specs about the boot protocol over the
eithernet?
