Now that I think of it, this rings some bells.  I remember being very
happy when I found a /240 here that was "different" from all the rest,
and I guess all the others were probably 5.1b.  My current NetBSD /240
is a 5.2b.

You should still be able to MOP boot them - but I haven't tried NetBSD's
mopd yet, just the standard mop_mom that comes with Ultrix.  If you've
got another Ultrix box nearby (perhaps even a VMS box or an Alpha runing
DEC UNIX may be helpful - anyone know?) you should be laughing.
