   bootp: no reply
   Using BOOTPARAMS protocol: ip address: 206.138.151.49bootparamd:  
   'whoami' call failed


dhcp isn't working for you -- the "bootp" reply failure causes
ofwboot to then try bootparams.

i recommend tcpdump to see why bootp isn't working.  do you have:

        allow bootp;

in your dhcpd.conf?
