Hello all!

I'm trying to netboot NetBSD on my mono slab from a Windows 2000
machine.  I have HCL Inetd at my disposal for W2K, and have been
trying to adapt the instructions for netbooting from NetBSD.  Needless
to say, it doesn't work yet, though I have no idea why.  My
understanding of the bootp and tftp protocols is essentially zero, so
I'm really stumbling here.  In trying to debug the problem, I fired up
a packet sniffer and watched what happened when I tried btp()netbsd on
the NeXT.  The NeXT fired off a broadcast bootp request every now and
then, and each one resulted in a reply from the Windows box.  Here's
one of the replies:

I wish I knew what should be in this packet, because the NeXT never
sends a response to it.  A solid whack over the head with a
clue-by-four would be greatly appreciated.

I wasn't terribly worried about exactly what the reply consisted of,
because I figured I could solve that later.  I was most concerned with
just seeing some communication back and forth, and getting to the
point where the NeXT would attempt a tftp connection.

Thanks in advance,
