I had tried your guide too, Ethan, but it didnt work the same way Ron
describes it here (on a TiBook).
I had first tried with a pure bootp server, since OF should fall back to
using bootp if DHCP didn't work. No dice...
I then tried with a dhcp server, for which I got the same log entries as
Ron. And it didn't want to netboot....
Gave up on netbooting.... but I may try again with standards docs at
hand and a sniffer to find out what's up.
