The manual of debian-installer tells, there is RARP support for
many architectures, however I doubt it[1]. This bugreport
and his siblings should help to find if it really is.
(this bugreport, BR, will be cloned for the various archs)
This BR could look like a hardware specific question,
or a question about the various BOOT ROMS.
The Debian related question is about the kernels that are
provided, they should have RARP support.
Computers that do a netboot will ask twice for an IP-address,
once from the BOOT ROM and once by the kernel.
(first one loads the kernel, the second gets the next part
(RAM disk or NFS root))
So the question is, Does the kernel for the arch has RARP support?
If even the sparc kernels[2] don't have RARP, I would also like to known.
BTW: I known that I'm enforcing dropping the support for RARP.
But hey, there are alternatives (BOOTP & DHCP)
and it means a smaller kernel.
Cheers
Geert Stappers
[1] RARP is deprecated by BOOTP ( and DHCP )
[2] (old) Sun hardware does use RARP to get a IP address

Description:
debian-installer-manual - Debian installation manual
Closes: 232252 246890 250026 250027 255821 261625
Changes:
debian-installer (20040728) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Steve Langasek
- Add additional missing ligature characters and harakat
(diacritics) to needed-characters/ar.
* Thiemo Seufer
- Add /dev/null to the image tree if !USERDEVFS.
* Bastian Blank
- Remove countrychooser and languagechoose from generic type.
* Joey Hess
- Switch release builds back to using udebs from testing.
- Add firewire-core-modules to the 2.6 kernel_specific nic-modules list, as
used by i386, amd64, and powerpc, all of which were just changed so that
nic-modules depend on firewire-modules for 2.6 kernels.
- Remove ipv6-modules and wireless-tools-udeb from the i386 net-drivers
floppy to get back under the floppy size limit. Closes: #261625
- Numerous fixes and updates to the installer manual, including
improved docs on PXE booting for i386 (Closes: #232252),
rewritten section of downloading files that avoids bad links and
outdated image names (Closes: #246890), document ramdisk_size for lilo
and grub booting better (Closes: #255821).
- i386 kernel no longer support rarp, disable that in install manual.
Closes: #250027 ; Same for hppa. Closes: #250026
- Integrate installation howto into manual. The old text format howto is
left for now until we update all links and docs to point to the new one.
- Full package builds build the manual in official build mode.
* Stephen R. Marenka
- Kill second set of m68k initrds, genext2fs seems to work.
- Add /dev/null to userdevfs-dev.txt.
- Update m68k manual.
* Colin Watson
- Document 'install video=ofonly' instead of 'install-safe', which is
going away (it caused combinatorial explosion in the yaboot prompt on
full CDs).
- Add fb-modules and floppy-modules to powerpc cdrom and netboot
initrds.
* Bastian Blank
- Update s390 manual: remove mention of second initrd and devfs.
* Martin Michlmayr
- Add cobalt-scripts and colo-udeb to the Cobalt initrd.
* Sven Luther
- Switch default powerpc kernel to 2.6.
