Hello,

I've trouble netbboting my 710 : it seems that it doesn't
broadcast bootp request, but some IPX Service Advertisement
Protocol stuff...

here's what tcpdump has to say :

#####

8:0:9:25:bd:de is the hp710
8:0:20:86:f0:d3 is the bootpd host (a Sun Ultra 1)

Does anyone know :

# if it's possible to make this 710 behave properly
 (i.e. use IP)

# or to netboot using IPX (I can use Solaris/sparc
 or NetBSD/sparc for netbooting, I could probably
 add Linux/sparc to the list)

Thanks in advance,
