Jumpstart: Rarp protocol specifics
I am having trouble locating a boot server on my subnet. I am trying to avoid installing a boot server if one exisits. Is there a way for me to broadcast a Rarp request to see if any boot servers are on my subnet and if so identify them? I think this will only work if the Rarp protocol supports replying with a failure response to the sender in the case where there is a boot server but no ethernet address is defined on the boot server for the requestor.

Nope, if there is no matching ethers on the machine it simply will not reply to a rarp request.

The only thing I can think of that *might* help is, if it is allowed in your environment is you portscan for tftp running on any machines in the subnet.
