Hmm. I've had a look at tcpdump's output 
(see http://mnementh.trin.cam.ac.uk/hp/) and (although my understanding
of what ought to be sent and in what order is rather sketchy) nothing
seems to be out of order - most fields like DXSAP are in the same
order as the HP's packets...

Is there any chance that somebody with a working rbootd on their
NetBSD machine could run tcpdump on it, so I have something to
compare my output with?  This seems to me to be the easiest way to
locate the problem.

Oh, and it isn't something daft, like needing to configure the HP
to tell it which machine it can boot off, is it? (no documentation!)
