When I checked what actually failed on my G4 on netboot,
it looked that OpenFirmware sent a bootp request on OF_open() call
in src/sys/arch/macppc/stand/ofwboot/ofdev.c:devopen()
and dhcp server answered it, but OF didn't accept it.

I'm afraid there is another OF quirks, but I wonder if there is
any other OS which can open files via network on OF3 machines..
