Well, first you enable downline loading on your Ethernet adapter (EWA0 or which one you have on your machine) with LANCP.

Then you define your DECSERVER, its MAC address (which is written on a label on the DECSERVER) and the needed image in LANCP so that it can respond to the downline loading requests received from your DECSERVER.
LANCP> DEFINE NODE DS200/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 /FILE=PR0801ENG.SYS
Then you just power on your DECSERVER and wait a few minutes that it has done all selftests and downloaded the image.
You can follow the downline loading on your Alpha console.
Was the explanation understandable?

Assuming you are using Alpha and VMS V7.3 or newer.
$ MC LANCP
LANCP> SET DEVICE EWA0 /DLL=ENABLE
LANCP> DEFINE NODE DS200/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 /FILE=PR0801ENG.SYS

Copy the PR0801ENG.SYS image using the qualifier /continuous to the directory MOM$SYSTEM.
You'll find the image using anonymous ftp at juhani.exdecfinlnd.org

It's a 200. I'd need the mumble.SYS too.

If it is a DS100, 200 or 300 then you need the appropriate load file mumble.SYS and a boot host that runs decnet. For NCP I can give you the incantations.

The mumble.SYS for a 200 is called PR0801ENG.SYS. Look around for it with
Google and you will certainly find it. :-)
The latest should be V2.0 (BL23).
