Hello,
I've followed the instructions to the letter for how to netboot a
VAXstation, and stuff happens, but it doesn't seem to do anything..
I turn the VAX on, and break it to the console, and type 'b/100
esa0'. Everything is up and running on my Linux box across the room,
and mopd reports activity. I see this on my console:
[root_at_kadath fs]# mopd -a -d
mopd: not running as daemon, -d given.

This repeats ad nauseum, every 5 minutes or so. This appears in my
syslogs:
Jul 21 19:07:20 kadath mopd[12768]: mopd 2.5.3 started.
Jul 21 19:07:20 kadath mopd[12768]: Initialized eth0
Jul 21 19:07:20 kadath kernel: mopd uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
Jul 21 19:09:53 kadath mopd[12768]: 8:0:2b:11:12:92 (1) Do you have
MOPBOOT? (Yes)
Jul 21 19:10:35 kadath last message repeated 3 times
...and so on. So, my box is seeing request from the VAX, but nothing
happens on the VAX screen. It simply hangs at '-ESA0'. Any idea what's up?
Did I miss some critical step in my massive ignorance? Help would be
greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks.
