>Description:
MOP booting Alphaserver 2000 does not find root device.
>How-To-Repeat:
MOP boot an Alphaserver 2000 and get
WARNING: can't figure what device matches "MOP 0 8 0 0 0 3 0 00-00-F8-02-5C-B7 1"
and the get asked for root device etc.
>Fix:
The following patch fixes the problem, similar code exists in several
other machine-specific files, but the MOP test is missing in dec_2100_a500.c
It is also missing in dec_2000_300.c, but I do not have a machine to
test that.
