Thanks to Sebastian Benoit for suggesting the Internet Software
Consortium's version of dhcp (http://ftp.sendmail.org/isc/dhcp.html). I
downloaded and configured this after briefly skimming over the
documentation.
Thanks also to Mike Carney and Dave Miner at east.sun.com for directing me
to the correct sun manual (TCP/IP and Data Communications Administration
Guide). I suspect that with this manual and the experience using the ISC
version I should be able to quickly configure the Sun version of dhcp with
bootp.
