Hmm, so as dwmalone@ has pointed out, this stuff just works even without
any of the bootp stuff when you PXE boot.
Thinking out loud, I now suspect that the only reason it was really necessary
to have BOOTP_* configured into a kernel before this commit is if you don't
have pxeboot(8) or loader(8).
Is there anybody out there that uses the BOOTP* options that can confirm this ?
Do I need to back out this commit ?
