Hmm, It looks like from the man page (man bootpd) that you might
need to give the path to the bootptab file in inetd.conf. Try:
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootptab
Permissions of 644 root.wheel should be fine.
Sorry, I don't run bootp on my FBSD boxes, it seems to be a bit different
from Suns. Is the bootptab file referencing files from tftp to load? That's
the other possiblity as to a problem. If that file doesn't exist. But,
I bet it's probably the different inetd.conf entry.
Dave, don't just reply to me. Be sure to keep Cc:ing to questions@freebsd.org.
That way others can help, too. I don't have all the answers, and I'm not
always available. After all, we are all just users here, there is no
FreeBSD help staff.
Paul.
