I've written a MOP-loader, but NetBSD/vax and NetBSD/pmax can't use it
to be booted, yet. To be able to load a NetBSD kernel from any machine
capable of serving MOP, the image must have a image header in one of the
formats supported by Digital. To learn my MOP-loader a specific NetBSD
format doesn't seems to be a good idee, then you have to boot it from
a UNIX machine.

The MOP/loader can be found at ftp.stacken.kth.se:/pub/OS/NetBSD/mopd.
