Solaris has this nifty little tool for querying the bootparam server on a
booting system. Handy little gadget for getting various system configuration
at boot time. Neither OpenBSD nor FreeBSD have it (FreeBSD has callbootd,
but I cannot get it to work easily), so I wrote a simple 'bpgetfile' for
the CSLab to use for some of our diskless systems. The code is available
at http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd/FreeBSD/bpgetfile.tar.gz
Have fun.
