According to the bootp(1m) man page SGI's version of BOOTP supports RFC951.
Does anyone know when the plan to upgrade to RFC1084?  I have an application
that needs this new version of BOOTP.

Thanks,
Philip Smith

I think it does RFC-1048 as well as RFC-1084.  But that probably
doesn't help you much, since those are just schemes for registering
vendor extensions of RFC-951, and you presumably want to add your
own extensions.

It might be effective to grab bootp source from Stanford (?) and
port it to do what you want.

I've been arguing that SGI should release the source to our version of
bootp, if only to show how bootp-forwarding can be done (and how we've
done it for 5 or 6 years).  So far, no one seems enthused, and the
death of CSRG has made the question "to whom would we release it?" hard
to answer.  (Please, no GNU-copyleft speeches.)
