I set up a NetBSD 1.5 machine to netboot my 1.6 macppc from, but when I 
try to boot, I get the following:
	0 > boot enet:,ofwboot.xcf
	enet:,ofwboot.xcf  BOOTP failed
	 can't OPEN: /bandit/bc/mace:,ofwboot.xcf
	 ok
	0 >

What's wrong?

I tried to log things on the bootp-server:
	colomb# cd /tftpboot
	colomb# bootpd -s -d4
	bootpd: info(6):   bootptab mtime: Tue Sep 10 13:10:41 2002
	bootpd: info(6):   reading "/etc/bootptab"
	bootpd: info(6):   read 1 entries (1 hosts) from "/etc/bootptab"
	bootpd: info(6):   recvd pkt from IP addr 0.0.0.0
	bootpd: info(6):   bootptab mtime: Tue Sep 10 13:10:41 2002
	bootpd: info(6):   request from Ethernet address 00:A0:40:26:15:54
	bootpd: info(6):   found 130.225.92.238 (kelvin.x.dtu.dk)
	bootpd: info(6):   bootfile="/tftpboot/ofwboot.xcf"
	bootpd: info(6):   vendor magic field is 0.0.0.0
	bootpd: info(6):   sending reply (with no options)
	bootpd: info(6):   setarp 130.225.92.238 - 00:A0:40:26:15:54
	bootpd: info(6):   arp -d 130.225.92.238; arp -s 130.225.92.238 
00:A0:40:26:15:54
and then it starts repeating:
	bootpd: info(6):   recvd pkt from IP addr 0.0.0.0
	bootpd: info(6):   bootptab mtime: Tue Sep 10 13:10:41 2002
	bootpd: info(6):   request from Ethernet address 00:A0:40:26:15:54
	...

My /etc/bootptab is
	kelvin.x.dtu.dk:\
		:ht=ether:\
		:ha=00A040261554:\
		:sm=255.255.255.224:\
		:ip=130.225.92.238:\
		:hn:\
		:bf="/tftpboot/ofwboot.xcf":\
		:bs=auto:\
		:rp=/exports/client/root/:


Thanks in advance for your help!
