I second that -- in fact, I've installed OpenVMS this on real
VAX hardware way, it works very well.
Grab the SIMH executables from here:

Then grab the NetBSD/VAX 2.0 ISO here:
<
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/2.0/vaxcd.iso>
Follow the instructions here:
<

Voila, a working simulated VAX running NetBSD.
Finally, follow the instructions from:
<
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/intro.pmax.html>
That gives you a lot of detail on how to netboot a DECstation
from a NetBSD server.
Now, I'm sure you're saying "Hey, that's a lot of crazy workaround to
get what I want!", but somehow I suspect it'll be more straightforward
than finding WIN2K mopd/tftp servers and getting them to work properly.
However, I have been known to be wrong in the past :)
Hope that helps!
