Hi ,
      I would be grateful for any assistance with my problem.
I am attempting to boot my DECStation 5000/240 using the mop protocol. I am
attempting to install the linux roughcuts version on to the DEcstation.  So
far when I enter the command boot 3/mop/vmlinux I get no response from the
DECstation, not even an error message.  I have configured my bootptab file as

byron:\
        ::\
        :ht=ether:\
        :ha=080026301a59:\
        :bf=vmlinux:\
        :sa=10.1.0.100:\
        :ip=10.1.0.150:\
        :gw=10.1.1.2:\
        :sm=255.255.0.0:\
        :td=/linux:\
        :hd=/linux:\
If anyone can offer some assistance you would really make my day and possibly
the project.  Thanks Damien Harris
