I discovered the same problem here. The first bootp works. Multia gets
it's IP and downloads netboot via tftp. Netboot then also tries to do a
bootp request but this fails. My dhcp server (isc-dhcp 2.0 on SUN
Solaris)
gets the requests and sends the correct response. I can watch this with
dhcpd's debug mode and with "snoop" (network packet sniffer on Solaris).
But it seems that the netboot on Multia doesn't get the bootp responses.
Btw, I tried this with netboot from 1.4, 1.5.2 and 1.5ZA. The last one
give's me a different output put also fails. It doesn't send anything
via the network but stops directly saying:
NetBSD/alpha 1.5ZA Network Bootstrap, Revision 1.9
