The server IP address is given in this field of a reply:
	struct in_addr bp_siaddr;
Is there any problem with using that?

Also, there is a standard (RFC 1395) "tag" for the "root path"
that I'm using for the NFS mount root.  Any problem there?

Most clients I've seen either leave the bp_file string null in
the request, or fill in some constant name.  On netbsd, it may
be possible for the file name given to the boot program to be
copied into the BOOTP request, or if that name is not available,
just fill "netbsd" in there.  Would that be OK?
