Oh, I didn't explain that properly - it is the tcpborphserver process
that accepts commandline parameters (eg tcpborphserver3 -b /usr/bof)

But the unusual part is that it seems to be running already, and generally
should be configured to fetch files out of /usr/bof anyway ... unless
you somehow have a really old and somehow broken
root filesystem ?

Good, no corruption in /usr.

That is fine, setup gets done from a few rc.* files

That file is quite a lot bigger on newer filesystem images ... so you have a
somewhat older version of the software... possibly upgrading the root
filesystem/romfs might be an option to try ... the casper wiki has
instructions on this, but the process requires some care. Or maybe you
have attempted an upgrade already, but haven't reset the configuration
and startup files by removing /usr/.keep and then rebooting ?
