but.. lo and behlod, I check my /var/adm/syslog file
to see if it works,
and see these errors
bootpd {92}: hardware address not found: 08000094541dd
bootpd [92]: harwdare address not found: 0800xxxxxxxxx
and the numbers keep chaning for that
then..
bootpd [116]: reading "/etc/bootptab"
bootpd [116]: bad hardware address for host "hostname"
 etc etc.. and this ocntinues on and on every few mintues
