bootp not working



Hello guys,

I got indigo2 and I would like to install debian-mips on it. I have to
say I am totaly new with debian-mips, but not with linux. I tried to
install indigo2
(http://www.linux-debian.de/howto/debian-mips-woody-install.html). I set
dhcpd.conf, set inetd.conf, put tftpboot.img from debian-mips CD in
/tftpboot dir on server. I even set IP address in command menu of
indigo. I tried to do boot and bootp with echos like this:

command:
>>boot -f bootp()/tftpboot/tftpboot.img
echo:
>>No server for /tftpboot/tftpboot.img
Your netaddr environment variable may be set up
incorectly or net may be too busy for connection to be made
Unable to load bootp()/tftpboot/tftpboot.img : could not 
connect to remote host

next command:
>>bootp():/tftpboot/tftpboot.img
echo:
>>No server for /tftpboot/tftpboot.img
Your netaddr environment variable may be set up
incorectly or net may be too busy for connection to be made
Unable to execute bootp():/tftpboot/tftpboot.img 

next command:
>>bootp()/tftpboot/tftpboot.img
echo:
>>No server for /tftpboot/tftpboot.img
Your netaddr environment variable may be set up
incorectly or net may be too busy for connection to be made
Unable to execute bootp():/tftpboot/tftpboot.img 

next command:
>>boot():/tftpboot/tftpboot.img
echo:
>>No server for /tftpboot/tftpboot.img
Your netaddr environment variable may be set up
incorectly or net may be too busy for connection to be made
Unable to execute bootp():/tftpboot/tftpboot.img 

In time of boot or bootp I cloud see with tcpdump on server 4 broadcasts
(maybe to get tftpboot.img) from indigo to server. I could see MAC
address of indigo, but I could not ping on indigos IP from server. I was
really confused, how I can see MAC address and cannot ping on IP of
indigo, even if IP of indigo was set up in command menu. After 4 bootp
broadcasts I could not see even MAC addreess. I looks to me dhcpd could
not give to indigo its belonged IP. 

Have you faced similar problem like this?

Thank you for any help.

Petr
