Well, I'm just saying that my fancy Cisco router doesn't forward bootp
packets that have a TTL of 1, yet thousands of Windows machines here at
work are fine with a DHCP server that is several hops away.  NetBSD doesn't
appear to be fine with it.  This appears to be a NetBSD issue. :-)

I installed 'bootpgw' on a local segment machine and I was able to DHCP
correctly.  I still seem to have a hosed EXT2FS filesystem though. :(
