	Hi gang!

	I'm having problems getting a 5000/200 I have to netboot.  Here's the setup:

	Boot server is running NetBSD/i386 1.3.2 (old, but it works and I didn't
want to mess with it).

	Symptom:  as soon as I type boot 6/tftp on the 5K I get a message on the
boot server: 
	"inetd[229]: /usr/sbin/bootpd: exit status 0x1
	last message repeated 38 times
	inetd[229]: bootps/udp server failing (looping), service terminated

	The 5000/200 eventually times out.
	For what it's worth, my bootptab looks like:

	damasus.zaft.org:\
		:ht=ether:\
		:ha=08002b236dec:\
		:sm=255.255.255.0:\
		:ip=192.168.17.25:\
		:sa=192.168.17.1:\
		:hn:\
		:bf=boot.pmax:\
		:rp=/home/export/pmax/root:\
		:vm=auto:

	my inetd.conf lines are:

bootps 	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/sbin/bootpd		bootpd
tftp		dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/libexec/tftpd	tftpd -s /tftpboot

	And I have a copy of the ECOFF kernel in /tftpboot as netbsd.pmax.

	My 5000/200 ROM is KN02-AA 5.3t.

	Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance for any help.

GZ
