Then put in /etc/hosts (on the server) vax 10.0.0.123 where 10.0.0.123 is the IP address the client is to have This should let your client get the IP address from the rarp server. If you want rarpd to start always at boot, add to /etc/rc.conf rarpd_enable="YES" # Run rarpd (or NO). rarpd_flags="-as" # Flags to rarpd. Or start it manually (as root) rarpd -as Next stage is to do tftpboot, which depends on your architecture, the Vax I ran NetBSD on, did this through mopd. But that is something from DEC.
