>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	a FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE machine running a bootparamd server

>Description:

	The original /etc/rpc content for service #100026 is "bootparam",
	which does not work with a Sun (SPARCstation ELC) when using the
	Sun as a diskless client running NetBSD 1.2.1/sparc.

>How-To-Repeat:

	1. Configure a FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE machine as a diskless server
		1.1 set rarpd (rarpd works OK)
		1.2 set tftpd with the boot code (tftpd works OK)
		1.3 invoke portmap
		1.4 run bootparamd

	2. Attempt booting a Sun diskless client using
		boot net netbsd -s (I tried to boot NetBSD 1.2.1/sparc)

>Fix:
	The service name 'bootparamd' works instead of 'bootparam'.
	
	Replace the line for service #100026 in /etc/rpc as follows:

	bootparamd	100026	bootparam
