This is a diskless system and thus booting, root and swap are done over nfs. As part of the hp's boot sequence it sends a rarp request. When using the FreeBSD's rarpd these requests are never answered. If I use NetBSD's with a line '#undef __FreeBSD__' after the includes the requests are answered. I compared FreeBSD's, OpenBSD's and NetBSD's rarpd and found while OpenBSD's and NetBSD's rarpd are nearly identical FreeBSD's was very different making finding the difference that makes the others work difficult. >How-To-Repeat: Try running rarpd (in my case 'rarpd ed0') and make an rarp request and watch the traffic with tcpdump. >Fix: Would it be possible to replace our rarpd with NetBSD's or OpenBSD's? >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
