There's no other BOOTP server built into Solaris.

If you haven't specificially configured your DHCP server to handle
BOOTP clients, then it's unlikely to work.

BOOTP is basically the predecessor to DHCP.  It uses the same UDP port
numbers and the same packet format, but with some new options and some
new behaviors.  That's why it's serviced by the DHCP server.
