Sorry, the file protection was too restrictive.
It's fixed now.

Well, first you enable downline loading on your Ethernet adapter
(EWA0 or which one you have on your machine) with LANCP.
LANCP> SET DEVICE EWA0 /DLL=ENABLE
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?

Guys,
Back for ages my DECSERVER used to boot up using someone's MOP box
in Sweden I believe;
This is no longer the case, and this being my only console access
to RHESUS i would appreciate some instructions on how to set up
this soft-downline-loading setup (and possibly the necessary
binaries).

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
LANCP> EXIT
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
