After I added the line 
#include <sys/time.h>
in the file 'utils.c' compiling of NetBSD's rbootd worked. The boot requests 
and replys worked fine as I saw in the debug output and it seems that the 
transfer of the installation programm is ok too. But I don't know if the blank 
screen on the apollo after choosing the system to boot is the result of using 
a FreeBSD system as a bootserver.
