"Michael K. Sanders" sez:
/*
 * I ran into a couple problems while doing a network installation of
 * 1.3 on an IPC that I hope someone will be able to comment on...
 * 
 * First, I've sucessfully netbooted sun boxes many times, but this time
 * something odd happened.  After sending the RARP request, the client
 * got a response from the server, but the subsequent TFTP request was
 * being ignored.  I re-checked the configuration and everything was
 * in order-- a tcpdump showed the TFTP request, but no response.  It
 * also showed that the server was making an ARP request for the client's
 * address!  Checking the ARP table showed an entry for the client at
 * (incomplete).  After manually adding the correct ARP entry, the
 * TFTP proceeded to work as expected.  The server was a NetBSD/i386 box
 * running a 1.2G snapshot.  Any ideas why this would happen?  

For the record, I encountered this same "oddity" with an SLC trying to
boot from an IPX, and this has been happening since 1.2.  If anyone cares
to comment on this, please do.
