>Description:
Netbooting Solaris 2.5 does not work anymore. Worked in 1.3.
Rpc.bootparamd uses get_myaddress to get IP address of
network interface, from which the client should boot. From
version 1.4 NetBSD's get_myaddress returns 127.0.0.1, which makes the
client rather unhappy. Netbooting NetBSD Sparc works, because
the rpc which uses get_myaddress is not used.
>How-To-Repeat:

See above
>Fix:

Restore the old NetBSD 1.3 functionality of get_myaddress
or change rpc.bootparamd not to use get_myaddress any more.
