I am trying to netboot FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE (that being the latest
binaries I have to hand) onto a Multia with SRM 3.8.3 (the latest).
I got around the `boot device name does not contain ethernet address'
error by patching the MAC address into the netboot binary and it now
happily loads and executes netboot.
My problem is that netboot seems unable to accept the DHCP or RARP
responses returned to its requests. It just cycles between DHCP
and RARP requests until it times out.
I've tried the FreeBSD-current bootps (which wouldn't respond because
the Multia is sending DHCPDISCOVER requests), WIDE dhcp-1.4.0p6
(which doesn't seem to respond, though that may be a configuration
problem) and ISC dhcp-1.0pl2. With the ISC dhcp in debug mode, I
get the following:
BOOTREQUEST from 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
BOOTREPLY for 139.188.20.243 to pc0802 (08:00:2b:e4:41:77) via ed0
DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
DHCPOFFER on 139.188.20.243 to 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
DHCPOFFER on 139.188.20.243 to 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
DHCPOFFER on 139.188.20.243 to 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
DHCPOFFER on 139.188.20.243 to 08:00:2b:e4:41:77 via ed0
Looking at tcpdump output, I see:

All of which looks correct. Does anyone have any suggestions?
