I think you will need 'rbootd' running to answer the initial request,
which then hands over to bootpd.

 The rbootd daemon is used for booting some HP workstations
 over the network (such as the 9000/300 and 9000/400 series).
 It can also boot PA RISC workstations.  It handles the first
 stage of the boot sequence and can be used to start booting
 Linux, NetBSD or HPUX.

(Debian GNU/Linux rbootd package description.)

There is a build on ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/tgz/
but I don't know for which architecture and OS.  =)  You shouldn't have
any trouble finding a package or the source to build for your platform.

Andrew.
