tcpdump the transaction and see what happens.

The one thing I've had to do was to set a static arp entry on the boot=20
server. Without that, the system never boots; the tftp server needs the=20
client to answer an arp request, but it doesn't.

Older versions of bootp would automatically add the arp entry, but newer=20
ones (or other apps acting as bootp servers) don't.

Take care,

Bill
