Here's what happens: tftp times out, and nothing boots.
tcpdump -vv udp sez:
19:59:23.086974 4xdev.1224 > 255.255.255.255.tftp: 22 RRQ "C0815418.SUN4" (ttl 255, id 0)
19:59:23.241599 taniemarie.1063 > 4xdev.1224: udp 21 (ttl 64, id 5874)
This is "correct" - the Sun 4 is getting the hardware address 192.129.84.24,
and is requesting a file which exists, is in /tftpboot, and is world readable.
I have
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd /tftpboot
in /etc/inetd.conf.
This *looks* right.
I disabled tftpd's attempts to setgid/uid to "nobody", because it was failing
with permission denied to change gid. (I don't care much for now.)
