Ah, good to know. >Very old DECstation can't boot via tftp/bootp but need MOP, in that >case the t-rex image may or may not work, I don't know if anybody >ever tried. One of my DECstations had a very old firmware, which could only handle mop-booting. I can remember that I've at least booted it that way, but I can't tell you what image I've used for it. I'll try it out the next time I'll do an etch install test, but my 5k/33 is not yet finished with the first round ;-) [del] Thanks for the other corrections & infos, CU, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
