I would like to make a server under 4.3BSD to allow micro-vaxen to boot from their qe's. Does anyone know the protocol used by the bootstrap ROM? Better yet has anyone already done it?

MOP is part of DNA - the Digital Network Architecture (aka DECnet). Specifications for DNA are available from DEC. If you have access to the VMS microfiche, the source for the MicroVAX II boot ROM is there. MOP is fairly simple, so you should be able to figure it out from the fiche.
