I'm afraid I can't help you with bootp directly, but here's what I use
with isc-dhcpd:
group sparc64 {
next-server a.b.c.d;
filename "kernel-sparc64.nfs";
option root-path "a.b.c.d:/space/freebsd/roots/sparc64";
host v120 { hardware ethernet 00:03:ba:2c:8e:d1; fixed-address w.x.y.z; =
}
host v240 { hardware ethernet 00:03:ba:7d:3e:b9; fixed-address w.x.y.z; =
}
host v480 { hardware ethernet 00:03:ba:2f:17:6e; fixed-address w.x.y.z; =
}
host v880 { hardware ethernet 00:03:ba:0b:35:4f; fixed-address w.x.y.z; =
}
}

Then, in /tftpboot, I have copies of /boot/loader named after the IP
addresses converted to hex, so for example loader for the server
10.0.128.1 would be named /tftpboot/0A008001
Finally, /space/freebsd/roots/sparc64 is just a copy of the root
filesystem, or in your case, I assume a straight copy of the install CD
should work.
