I was bored last night, so I hacked my own rbootd for Linux.  My HP sees
_something_, but doesn't seem to work properly.

I get "searching for a system", then it displays the hostname of the Linux
machine and the name of its boot file at the top right of the screen, then
it says "SYSTEM NOT FOUND" and stops.  Anybody got any idea what might be
the issue here?
