But it should already have an IP address - it gets it during boot from DHCP....
(I see that happening at the beginning of boot - it gets the IP I assigned to its MAC address)

NAME
rarpd - reverse address resolution protocol daemon SYNOPSIS
rarpd [-v] [-i interface ] DESCRIPTION
Rarpd listens on the ethernet for broadcast packets asking for reverse address resolution. These packets are sent by hosts at boot time to find out their IP address. Rarpd looks up the six octet ethernet number in the ethers map finding a host name. This name is translated to the IP address of the host by a DNS lookup. The IP address is then sent to the host. Before rarpd can start its service it first finds out what the IP address and hardware address of the ethernet is. Warning! Sun diskless workstations assume that the first RARP server that answers is the host they are to boot from. For this to work all other Sun RARP servers delay their answer if they are not also the requestors boot server. This rarpd does not have this kludge so it will happily engage the Sun boot server to see who can answer the client first. Unless your host can actually serve a Sun diskless client, it is better not to list any more hosts in the ethers file than necessary. OPTIONS
-v Be verbose. Show requests which the daemon is responding to. -i Bind to the named interface. By default rarpd binds to the default interface for the local system type, if available. SEE ALSO
