I had tried your guide too, Ethan, but it didnt work the same way Ron describes it here (on a TiBook). I had first tried with a pure bootp server, since OF should fall back to using bootp if DHCP didn't work. No dice... I then tried with a dhcp server, for which I got the same log entries as Ron. And it didn't want to netboot.... Gave up on netbooting.... but I may try again with standards docs at hand and a sniffer to find out what's up.
