Dear Netfriends,

I need to get /usr/sbin/rarpd running here to boot some Sun 3's diskless.
Upon start, I get the following error:

Aug 27 19:04:08 europa rarpd[273]: /dev/bpf0: Device not configured

and rarpd exits...

What is /dev/bpf0 and how/why does one configure it?

I have no idea what to do next. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the help,

Stan
