The VAXstation 3100 M38 of a friend asked for mopping, got mopboot,
which sent out a rarp request, got an answer, but didn't get a
bootparams response so it asked for rarpd again.
rarpd -a -d on sunos reports this:
rarpd: RARP_REQUEST for 8:0:2b:31:67:cd
rarpd: good lookup, maps to 131.220.4.194
rarpd: delayed reply sent.
rarpd: RARP_REQUEST for 0:0:0:0:0:0
rarpd: could not map hardware address to IP address.
Note the 2nd address field is all zeros.
Is this intentional? If not, this should be fixed, I guess...
Btw: hmm.... i guess I need a -current snapshot for the 3100?
