This is true, so I was confused. The OBP uses RARP and TFTP. I know for a fact that OBP requires at least revision 3.25 or higher in order to support DHCP, as in `boot net -v install dhcp`. > 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).
