bootp not working

[Bruce Fausey <bdfausey@sbcglobal.net>]

Hi Guys,

I have an indigo2 and I would like to install
debian-mips on it, because part of the IRIX system is
missing. I followed the howto from the woody install.
I finally figured out how to do the DHCP server
configuration. I put in the command:
boot -f bootp()/tftpboot/tftpboot.img

then I get setting ip address to 192.168.0.3 and then
it sits for a while and then I get the message:
cannot find bootp

does that mean I am missing bootp on the indy and I am
SOL for putting debian linux on it?

does anybody have ideas what to try next.

Thanks
Bruce
