Help with MOP network boot install on DECstation 5000/240

["Collin Baillie" <collin_no_spam_for_me@xorotude.com>]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to install linux-mips on a DECsation 5000/240 I have in my
posession. It has the 5.1b rom so tftp boot is apparently out.

I've setup mopd on a linux (i386) box here and I'm getting the following on
my DECstation:

>>boot 3/mop

???

In /var/log/messages I'm seeing:

Jul 13 15:44:36 phoenix mopd[10437]: 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 (1) Do you have
08002b2afec0? (Yes)
Jul 13 15:44:36 phoenix mopd[10437]: 8:0:2b:2a:fe:c0 Send me 08002b2afec0


and using moptrace I get the following:

I've tried with both the ecoff and the elf kernels (2.4.18) listed on
Karel's web pages.

I was wondering if anyone on the list has had any success installing via MOP
onto a DECstation 5000/240 and would be able to offer me any assistance.

Cheers,
