newwer Apple OpenFirmware does not work with bootp, you have to use
some dhcp equivilent. it looks to me like your dhcp is just spawning
an ordinary bootp daemon. those bootpd logs above there are identical
to the ones my plain old potato bootpd spews when i try to netboot a
silver g4. (i do not have any sort of dhcp-anything installed).
either that or Apple fixed thier OF to only work with Apple-dhcp (TM)
if thats the case we will have to reverse engineer the non-standard
proprietary extensions and decide whether support for it should be
added to a dhcp/bootp server.

looks like the example Brad Midgley sent me when he figured out that
plain bootp doesn't work with apples newer machines. that was a while
ago however, maybe apple has changed something again.
