Network Bootup Issues
This message indicates that the bootp program was remotely invoked from your system:
bootp: reply boot file /dev/null
Usually a filename that is given after the bootp command contains code that can remotely startup a remote system. This startup file can be used to restart a diskless system, boot an installation program (sa), boot a system into sash, or boot X-terminals. The bootp program is a communications program that talks between the systems and the remote network device and facilitates the reading of the startup file across the network.
