[Info-vax] Sharing CDROM on Alpha Server

I have been experimenting with mop-loading NetBSD from a Linux system, but it panics when it tries to mount root after 7500 packets successfully sent over the net. (I'm using TCP/IP not DECNet).  So I thought I would try booting the NetBSD install CDROM from my Alpha server. Nowhere in the manuals can I find out how to set up MOP or NFS server under VMS.  Is this something that is so old that support has been dropped?  I suppose I could leave mopd on the Linux machine and just try to get the ISO image under NFS if that would work.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks
