I'm trying to netboot another pc. It used to work, but now I get this
not-so-informative message on the server-side (FreeBSD) when the
netbooted kernel (NetBSD) tries to find its root:

arplookup 129.242.13.129 failed: could not allocate llinfo
arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 129.242.13.129rt

What does these messages mean, and can it be fixed?

It appears that the client kernel never sees any kind of reply from
the server.

The one funny thing about the setup is that the two machines are on
different logical nets, but the same physical net. On the server, I
have added a static route to the client's logical net via the local
ethernet, so this _should_ work.

Thanks,
