I'm batting 1000 -- nothing like ojt.

We shouldn't need /var/dhcp because we're using the -lf switch to
redirect the leases file to /tmp/dhcp.leases. I tested this switch on i386
and powermac and it worked fine. Perhaps this is related to the CONFIG_
issue? Adding the directory, though, probably shouldn't hurt anything?

CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_FILTER=y
sun4cdm
sun4dm-pci
powerpc-pmac
CONFIG_PACKET=m CONFIG_FILTER=y
All i386.
powerpc-apus
CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_FILTER=n
sun4u
powerpc-chrp
CONFIG_PACKET=m CONFIG_FILTER=n
powerpc-prep
I guest that leaves alpha and m68k. So much for consistency.
Revert to pump on all/certain platforms? Change the kernels?
What's the best course?

I got these errors too, but everything worked fine (acquired address
consistently).
