I'm trying to set up a bootp server on bsdi.  I loaded the bootptab file with 
address, names, etc., but when I started the bootpd it said it couldn't find 
it's own ip address.  The machine seems to know it's ip address 
(config_netstart, ifconfig...) in other circumstances.  Anyone know where 
bootpd is looking for it's address?
