The VAX 4000-500 codename was Omega so you could use the
VAX-11/730's codename, Nebula to fit in (and the VAX-11/725 was
LCN - Low Cost Nebula).

It will boot from the TU58 but I don't know of anything that
will then boot it over the net over MOP. Writing something
to use bootp and tftp would be an interesting project!
