We're trying to netboot a Sun-1.  Initially, the machine issues the
following packets (over and over...):

17:23:16.834126  In 00:00:00:00:00:00 (oui Ethernet) ethertype IPv4
(0x0800), length 90: localhost.52483 > localhost.domain: 9273+ PTR?
255.255.255.255.in-addr.arpa. (46)
17:23:16.834158  In 00:00:00:00:00:00 (oui Ethernet) ethertype IPv4
(0x0800), length 118: localhost > localhost: ICMP localhost udp port
domain unreachable, length 82

After a short while (10 seconds?), it gives up (because the ndd server
doesn't recognize it),  it times out and then generates the following
packet:

17:23:26.333093   B 02:60:8c:03:40:50 (oui Unknown) ethertype IPv4
(0x0800), length 64: 0.3.64.80 > 0.0.0.0:  nd 28

Where, of course, the ...:40:50 is the MAC address in the source address.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?  n.b. This seems to pre-date RARP,
so any insight would be valuable.
