Whereas I'm in the boat (or raft) of people trying to figure out exactly
what Michael means by there being problems with 10.* class A addresses and
bootparamd.  :-/

I use a subnet of 10.3.250.* at home and have never had any problems with
using bootparamd from: i386/Linux, NeXTSTEP/m68k, NetBSD/i386,
OpenBSD/i386, or NetBSD/sparc.  Someone had sent me bug report and patch
for bootparamd running under Alpha/Linux, but I'm still trying to figure
out where it's buried in my e-mail.
