Some days ago, rogerp@xnet.com (Roger Plichta) asked about the usage
of bootp and I wrote a follow-up with some information about it and
told him about the man-pages for bootpd and bootptab.
What didn't come to my mind was that someone may also be thinking
about a FreeBSD machine not as a server but as a client! :-)
Unfortunately I didn't find anything about that in the man-pages.
I looked around in the source, but unsuccessful.
The only thing I was able to find was something in the netboot code.
Roger just wants to get network information from another machine,
not the whole kernel :-)
Can anybody help him? I can't, at least, not yet...
Bye,
Martin
