	NetBSD 1.4.1 or 1.4.2, I've had trouble with bootp in -current on pmax
at least.

	IIRC, the problem with much brain damaged Redhad 6.x distro is that the
kernel doesn't support NFS v3.0 but it is telling its clients that it
does. Check the man pages on your Linux host and see if there is an
option like -NO_NFS_v3. I forget which port addressed this originally, I
think it was pmax but I'm not sure.
