Re: Decstation 5000/240 mop boot

Hey it works! I just MOP booted my DEC2100!

marvin:~# uname -a
Linux marvin 2.4.0-test9 #17 Thu Feb 22 13:37:21 GMT 2001 mips unknown
marvin:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo

cpu model               : R3000 V2.0
system type             : Digital DECstation 2100/3100
BogoMIPS                : 12.29

The trick (for me) is to have Marciej's mopd running with an ethernet interface
on its command line (I used "mopd eth1") and to make sure you're using the ELF
vmlinux from the root of the kernel sources rather than the ECOFF file in
arch/mips/boot - "file" will tell you which one you have.
