Hi Simon and the rest :-),

i've tried the modified bootp again .... but it still gives the following
output in the syslog :

I noticed that it did look for the correct file... it gave an error if it
didn't existed... but still.. the maxine gives `?IO: 3/tftp, bootp tmout'
:-(


If I got more time tonight... i'll try the dhcp version, and hope it'll
work...

Thanks,

Reinoud
