	He meant (if Gregory doesn't mind me answering for him :), that
	the client can only use bootp or rarp/bootparams (actually I
	think in -current it can be configured to try both, but it will
	only end up using one or the other).

	The server box should be able to support tftp/bootparms, bootp,
	dhcpd, mopd, rbootd, and boot-flavour-of-the-month-d :)

	I boot a vax, sparc, and shark from an old NetBSD 486 (pretty much
	simultaneously on occasion :)
