>Description:
Recently I bought an aging hp9000/300 and installed NetBSD on it.  This
is a diskless system and thus booting, root and swap are done over nfs.
As part of the hp's boot sequence it sends a request for the bootcode.
FreeBSD's rbootd does not appear to respond to request at least
not in a mannor that the hp understands.  If I use NetBSD's the
requests are answered.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try running rbootd in debug mode and make a boot request and watch the
traffic responses.

>Fix:
This problem might be associated with the problem report that I made
concerning rarpd not working.  Perhaps someone could look at the
small differences between ours and NetBSD and OpenBSD and merge the
differences.
