This may not be specific to sparc64, but the kernel seems to be
ignoring the rarp replies, and the following results:

OLD-BROADCAST -> (broadcast)  RARP C Who is 8:0:20:9b:5c:6d ?
      sphinx -> pegasus      RARP R 8:0:20:9b:5c:6d is 192.168.211.1, pegasus

      sphinx -> pegasus      RARP R 8:0:20:9b:5c:6d is 192.168.211.1, pegasus

(this continues until the kernel gives up)

The machine sending the rarp replies is a Solaris 7 box. Has anyone
seen this before?
