Here's what I see, when I say "boot net" on my sun, running a
slightly-more-than-current rarpd on my 2.2-ALPHA FreeBSD box.
The diff's between my rarpd and the -current rarpd are probably
not relevant.

I don't see rarpd logging *anything*, which may indicate a problem with
my syslog.conf .  But I also don't see either of the symptoms you are
reporting.

Do you have lots of stuff in /tftpboot?  rarpd does read in the whole
/tftpboot directory (or, at least until it sees the file representing
the host that it's thinking about sending a reply to).

Can you resolve the name that's in /etc/ethers for the booting machine?
Perhaps it's a resolver problem.  You might want to put the name in
/etc/hosts and change /etc/host.conf to look at hosts first if so.
