I haven't heard of any DECstation model As mopd requires an ELF image and the offical Debian netboot images are tftpimages in ECOFF, you should try using MOP with http://people.debian.org/~merker/experimental_packages/bf-pre3.0.24-20021224/unpacked/mopimage-r3k-kn02 As URL for getting kernel and modules give http://people.debian.org/~merker/experimental_packages/bf-pre3.0.24-20021224/unpacked/ to the installer. These are installer images built from the Debian "boot-floppies" CVS and contain an important fix regarding the Personal DECstation series, which is not in the last official release.
