The code in sys/lib/libsa/bootp.c is used for network booting
on several architectures.
When it is compiled with the SUPPORT_DHCP define it sends
out its requests with DHCP options, in particular with the
vendor class identifier option.
However, the netboot code is only compiled with SUPPORT_DHCP
on some architectures but not for e.g. sparc and sparc64.
Is there a reason for not having SUPPORT_DHCP enabled ?
