Hi,

>How can I checkup whether bootp is running?

the first thing I do, when trying to find out, what's going wrong:

enter the following line in /etc/syslogd.conf
*.* /dev/tty10

and

# killall -HUP syslogd

Then I can see a lot of usefull information on console 10. Amoung these are
DHCP-requests and responses and successful NFS-mounts and more...
I don't understand why syslog is always configured so complicated by default
(at least with SuSE and RedHat), just to conceal the interesting messages :(
Why not print everything on a console? This does not consume any space, does
it?
