It works! It works! Bwahahahahah!
Erm...

My version of rbootd now successfully sends SYS_NBOOT to the HP.
(Essentially, the write code *was* correct - I just had to fix
a bug where rbootd didn't like having the correct source (PC)
address written into its packets - it keeps the HP's address 
in that field so it can keep track of connections...)
It now comes up with a prompt, and makes a RARP request, which
I can satisfy. It then tries bootparamd (I think) which I can't
do yet - I have sources that should compile for Linux, but don't.

I will tar it all up and stick it on my web page at some point.
At an even later date, I may put #ifdefs into it and tidy it 
generally, so it can be one with the NetBSD sources...
