I went searching and I found a MOP daemon I wrote ages and ages ago
(1991, according to the file timestamps) to run under SunOS on a SPARC.
It worked for netbooting a MicroVAX-II at the time. (I wish I still
had the doco I used to write it...I have no clue what became of it.)
It will not build as it stands, if only because it uses an include file
that doesn't seem to have made it into the tarfile I found. And it
*is* very old code and does a number of things I wouldn't do today.
But if anyone wants it as a possible starting point or anything, let me
know.

I hacked together support for the NetBSD mopd to boot ecoff kernels
and posted the patches to port-pmax. I could boot kernels ok on a
DECstation that couldn't tftp boot. Someone (sorry, I forgot who off
the top of my head) was going to try to get ELF kernel support done for
them. I dig up more info if anyone is interested.
