Read the man page more closely, and consult termcap(5) for the general
syntax. One obscure requirement is:
(from termcap(5))
If it is necessary to place a : in a capability it must be escaped as \:
or be encoded as \072.
You're also missing a number of other colons out of your bootptab:
.default:\
:hn:ht=1:vm=rfc1048:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:\
:sa=147.46.44.181:\
:gw=147.46.44.1:\
:hd="":\
:bf="kernel":\
:T128="147.46.44.181\072/home":\
:T129=64000:\
:rp="147.46.44.181\072/tftpboot":
diskless:\
:ha=0050fce9306f:\
:tc=.default:
