Booting DECserver700 from 5.0A

Hi,

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a guide to getting a DS700
booted off a V5.0A system? I've only ever done this off a VMS server before
and it seems a bit easier. I've nicked the WWENG1.SYS image off the VMS box
vi binary ftp.

Output on the DS700 console so far looks like

Local -963- [IP] Illegal BOOTP reply, code: 05
Local -963- [IP] Illegal BOOTP reply, code: 05
Local -953- [MOP] Attempting to locate load host [ISO8802]
Local -953- [MOP] Attempting to locate load host [ETHERNET]
Local -953- [IP] Attempting to locate load host [ETHERNET]
Local -951- Server will retry operation in 300 seconds

I'm guessing I've got the bootptab file wrong or there is a problem with
the load image. There's also a suggestion in the archives that the old
bootpd is better than joind as far as DECservers are concerned.

Any and all assistance gratefully accepted.

TIA

Joe
