Last I checked, the mopd package in Debian was inches from being
orphaned. There is a wishlist bug asking to incorporate a few
patches that are a rev out of date to, among other things, provide
the correct byte order to boot DECstations. I compiled from the
NetBSD source and patches and was able to mop boot my 5000/240, but
I didn't have time to update said patches to the version of mopd
source in Debian--looked somewhat involved. I believe I still have
the patches on hand if anyone else wants to take up the banner and
can't locate them. Took me a bit of hunting...
