Yes, using tcpdump is a requirement to setup net booting.

On your NFS/tftp/DHCP/bootp/bootparam/rarp/etc server, you can run a
command like this to help you debug your problem:

tcpdump -v -n -e -i qe1 ether host 08:00:2b:28:f6:82

Of course qe1 and the mac address should be changed but this way
you filter exactly what's happening between the HP computer and
your server. You don't have all the other junk.
