I have bootp set up for two hosts, one booting with a gzip'ed kernel on a
floppy, the other attempting to boot via netboot.com.

The host booting from floppy works.  The one with netboot.com ("bagel")
yields the following log message at the server ("horbot"):

The console on bagel (the bootp client) shows:

The bootp configuration (/etc/bootptab) contains:

bagel\
        :ht=ether:\
        :ha=0000c095d01c:\
        :sm=255.255.255.0:\
        :lg=10.10.10.2:\

        :rp=/usr/export/bagel/root:\
        :bf=netbsd:\
        :bs=auto:


If I clone that entry for horbot, changing only the "ha" and "ip" entries,
bootptest succeeds:

[root@horbot tmp]# bootptest -h horbot
bootptest: version 2.4.1

Is netboot.com's implementation of bootp different from bootptest's?

Thanks for any help.
