James,
I cannot remember if we ever got your 8500 to work.  I remember playing with
the always-reply-rfc1048 option in dhcpd.conf.

Brian,
Do you see anything interesting in your dhcpd logs?  I'd be curious whether
you have the same version of OpenFirmware on the new board.  The netboot
client is after all implemented in OF.
