I got this problem when I moved from Caldera Linux  to Red Hat. First I don't
find bootpd programm on Red Hat distribution.  So I copied the bootpd
from Caldera  to the  Red Hat.  What happems was  the TFTP timout message.  I
found out that this message don't come from in.tftpd .
So I take the source  from bootpd-2.4.tar.gz and compile this on my new Red
Hat 6.0.  Now the boot works without error like on our old
Caldera Systems  also on Red  Hat.
