-For DECstations, there are tftpimage files for each subarchitecture,
-which contain both kernel and installer in one file. The naming
-convention is
-<filename><replaceable>subarchitecture</replaceable>/netboot-boot.img</filename>.

-The DECstation firmware boots by TFTP with the command <userinput>boot
-<replaceable>#</replaceable>/tftp</userinput>, where
-<replaceable>#</replaceable> is the number of the TurboChannel device
-from which to boot. On most DECstations this is <quote>3</quote>. If the
-BOOTP/DHCP server does not supply the filename or you need to pass
-additional parameters, they can optionally be appended with the
-following syntax:

-Several DECstation firmware revisions show a problem with regard to
-net booting: the transfer starts, but after some time it stops with
-an <computeroutput>a.out err</computeroutput>. This can have several reasons:

-The firmware does not respond to ARP requests during a TFTP
-transfer. This leads to an ARP timeout and the transfer stops. The
-solution is to add the MAC address of the Ethernet card in the
-DECstation statically to the ARP table of the TFTP server. This is
-done by running <userinput>arp -s
-<replaceable>IP-address</replaceable>
-<replaceable>MAC-address</replaceable></userinput> as root on the
-machine acting as TFTP server. The MAC-address of the DECstation can
-be read out by entering <command>cnfg</command> at the DECstation
-firmware prompt.

-There are also firmware revisions that cannot boot via TFTP at all. An
