vikas,

bootp must resolve any interface before the config files can be
loaded.  That did not seem to happen.  so your seeing bootp no workie
in 9.1(1).

this seems to be CSCdi08077 fixed in 009.001(001.002).

but ill run some bootp tests on my setup in the lab to make sure
things seem ok.  You should try the new rom when you get a chance.

Kenny.
