I am trying to netboot a NeXTStation from a Mac OS X server and have 
followed all the instructions in the HOW-TO (I think) but all my slab 
says is

Requesting BOOTP information.... [timeout]

I have one Mac connected to one slab and that's it.

Here is the ifconfig on the mac:

[localhost:~] aram% ifconfig en0
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,b6,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
         ether 00:30:65:5a:ea:3a
         media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>) status: active
         supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 
10baseT/UTP <half-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX 
<half-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-
duplex,hw-loopback>


Here is my dhcpd.conf:

#
# dhcpd.conf
#

ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
always-reply-rfc1048 false;

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
         range 10.0.0.2;
}

host nextstation {
         hardware ethernet 00:00:0f:00:fd:fe;
         fixed-address 10.0.0.2;
}

Here is what I get from dhcpd:

[localhost:~] aram% sudo /usr/sbin/dhcpd -d -f

I'm sure there is some really obvious dumb reason this isn't working, so 
I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thanks,
