I have only used a MOPd client under RedHat Linux 6.1, Don't know exactly
which mopd it was. But works like a charm for booting a MicroVax 3900 and
a VaxServer 3100.
As this is my first encounter with VAX's and NetBSD/VAX. I have a few
questions.
1 - The second MSCP controller in the MV 3900 doesn't work for some
strange reason (check http://www.netbsd.nl/bootlog). It isn't broken
because it does work in VMS
2 - When booting the MV 3900 i still get a error when the VAX is checking
itself, Further examination tells that Test 53 failes.. Some ideas on this
??
