There is a bit of naming confusion between the traditional BOOTP (UDP/67) 
service and Bootparams (RPC service).  

No Sun/Solaris system I'm aware of has ever used BOOTP as part of the netboot 
protocol.  So your Ultra2 is probably using RARP/TFTP/rpc.bootparams/NFS for 
netbooting.  DHCP was added as a possibility in the Solaris8/OBP3.x timeframe 
(from memory).

No version of Solaris has ever included a standalone bootp server, only the 
DHCP server which can of course be configured for BOOTP support.

It is common for someone to have installed the HP Jetadmin package for Solaris 
to enable the bootp server that comes as part of it (usually unintentionally).  
As it uses the same port, you cannot run that bootp server and the solaris DHCP 
server simultaneously.
