I would like to request that rarpd remain in the system, or if it must 
go, a port needs be made of the code.

I have old hardware, that gets boots periodically to check exact system 
behaviour, that requires rarpd to netboot.  This hardware has been at 
the basis of some surprising "prior art" type discoveries.  So it's 
essential to me that FreeBSD still be able to act as its netbooting 
server and NFS server.

Thanks.
