Hi,

I'm attempting to boot a machine off the floppy, and mount all filesystems
over NFS.  The network card is supported by the kernel xl driver, but not
by the netboot code.  Therefore, I created a kernel with the BOOTP and
BOOTP_NFSROOT options and put it on a floppy.

The reply from the BOOTP server is not being received (i.e. ``BOOTP
timeout for server 0xffffffff'').  The client and the BOOTP server are
on the same network.

Is there any documentation for use of kernel BOOTP?  Is anyone using it
successfully?

Any advice on diagnosing the problem?
