Not quite...

The hp300 PROM gets the boot program via rbootd (well, HP RMP Boot Request,
really :-), but the boot program currently uses rarp, bootparams, and
nfs to do the nitty-gritty.

Now that we have new swap, it's probably time to start thinking of
kernel bootp support, btw.  That way I can start using bootp sanely
in the hp300 boot program, which makes it a lot easier to set up
NetBSD/hp300 on HP-only networks (since HP-UX doesn't come with
rarpd _or_ bootparamd).
