NCP? NCP is a user interface. It should not be running just for its own amusement.
Exactly what are you doing, and what are the results?

I'm entering NCP from OPR to add node names. However it keeps telling me "NCP is not running".

Unlike my DEC 3000, the serial console is an MMJ port and not a DB9 serial port.
Does anyone have an excess or spare MMJ to DB9 adaptor, or know where I can purchase an inexpensive one?
First of all, you are talking about a DE9, not a DB9 (surprising how many don't know the correct name of that connector).
Second, DEC often used a different pinout for a DE9 than IBM did, so you might not be too happy with the adapter, depending on what you want in the end.
I tired hooking up my multisync monitor I have hooked up to my DEC 3000, but I don't think the graphic card is set to a setting within the monitor's range, as nothing shows up.
Do the DEC 3000 have a VGA port?

Look through the system startup for a MOUNT command that would attempt to

$ SEARCH SYS$STARTUP:*.COM ESP_DATA
When you find that, edit the procedure and comment out the MOUNT.

I saw your follow-on. Ignore this. The EZ interface should be listed in

Ok, I solved one problem. It was doing a minimal boot. However, when I do a normal boot it gets stuck waiting to mount dka200. I have a dka200 drive, but it's obviously not the one it was originally configured with.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to reset the configuration? I don't have any install disks so my goal is to get a copy of the licence files and keep the installed programming languages. It would be nice to take a backup for prosperity, but not essential.
