Hi all! We here at Concordia College are having problems booting two HP 
Apollo 400 diskless workstations. We want to boot both of them from a 
486/66 running FreeBSD with rbootd as the boot daemon. Here is a list of 
the things we have done:

	1) The Apollos are using the 10base2 connectors.
	2) The machine we are trying to boot them from, Homer, has 8 bpf's
	and also has rbootd, and it runs fine, no errors.
	3) The machines are onthe same subnet.
	4) The Apollos are using teh HP-UX boot mode.

I am not sure about the Apollos even sending packest out. tcpdump shows 
nothing coming from them at all. They boot through their messages, and 
then tehy get to a point where all they say is searching for system, or 
preferred selection failed, depending on what config their boot-roms 
have. If I tell them to search for a system, they give me the searching 
error message, if I tell them to use selected system, they say preferred 
selection failed. Frustrating! I am wondering if maybe I forgot about 
another jumper to pull, or some software config that I have wrong? Any 
help would be greatly appreciated!

-Kyle
