If I remember correctly from looking at the tcpdump stream, the problem was
that the DHCP packet headers had inconsistent lengths: i.e., IP header said
length is X and UDP header said it's Y, and when you did the math, you were
off by 4 bytes. This wasn't a big deal for bootpd, but dhcpd did strict
consistency checking and rejected the packets.

Would a shell account on a PC help? There is a list at:

It would be nice to see more work on the hp700 port, especially
non-diskless support.
