Actually just "bootp():" should simply work as stated in the boot floppies
documentation.

Yes, it would be very nice to have these things in the documentation.
What about sending a patch? You can fetch boot-floppies including
documentation from cvs.debian.org.  Please send patches against
boot-floppies documentation also to debian-boot@lists.debian.org.
