I'm playing around with thin clients and I need to setup a BOOTP server. There is already a DHCP server (ISP router) in the network that I have little control over. I want to continue using the router as the DHCP server as my test server won't be up all the time.

It looks like my only choices (if I want to be lazy and stick with what's in the portage tree) are net-misc/dhcp and net-misc/netkit-bootpd. I'd like to use dhcpd, but I can't figure out how to get it to only respond to BOOTP requests and ignore DHCP requests so that they get answered only by the router.

Alternatively, can someone recommend a good guide for setting up bootparamd? The man page royally sucks. Thanks.
