Hello !
I cannot say you directly your problem, but check following ...
Decide for one boot method, not all things in mixture as BOOTP and RARP
and DHCP and .....
Your box seems to speak BOOTP/DHCP, is this correct ?
Otherwise you need to use RBOOT (a HP proprietary boot protocol).
Decide for BOOTP or DHCP!
For BOOTP only ONE file is needed, the `/etc/bootptab'.
For DHCP only ONE file is needed, the `/etc/dhcpd.conf'.
(No need for `ethers' etc....).
Now check, if the boot file (LIF image) is correctly defined in the
`bootptab' or `dhcpd.conf', perhaps your machine does not get the valid
boot image. BTW, the image is created with `make palo' on the linux
kernel
source tree base.
I hope, you will find a thing, which is not correct here ... !
With friendly regards
