Maybe you should chek the NetBSD diskless HOWTO on the NetBSD web site.
It seams to be newer then this document. Newer NetBSD booters do DHCP /
bootp first, and RARP only as a fallback.

You need to make s symlink with the MAC address of the client to
boot.mop:
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8 Dec 29  2002 08002b097cbc.SYS -> boot.mop
(Note lower case letters in the MAC part, upper case .SYS)
--=20
