After entering le0/none/nfs netboot options, netbsd.ecoff returns the
following error:

: nfs_boot: using network interface 'le0'
: revarp failed, error=51
: cannot mount root, error = 5

The rarpd daemon is running under solaris 2.4, however I cannot
verify if it is running correctly.  The Ultrix rarpd daemon
keeps coredumping.

A 'tcpdump ether host XImage4' returns the following:

No rarp packets!  Is a simple network configuration required
to sort this out?  Can I generate RARP packets to test the
network?
