Here's the scoop:  The server is a SparcStationII running SunOS 4.1.1B
(no NIS-- nameservice is done through the 4.8.3 Bind code) and the client
that I'm trying to turn into an Xterminal is a Sun3/60.  The boot sequence
starts off well, and the 3/60 downloads the boot code from the SSII, but
then we get to the fatal:

	Using IP Address 130.91.16.9 = B25B1009
	No bootparam server responding; still trying
	No bootparam server responding; still trying
	No bootparam server responding; still trying
	[...etc...]

I've tried running rpc.bootparamd on the server with the debugging flag
(-d) enabled and I get the following error messages:

	bp_getclntent failed.
	bp_getclntent failed.
	bp_getclntent failed.

My bootparms file looks like:

	oldiron root=/export/root/Xkernel\
	        swap=/export/swap/Xkernel

and I've tried every combination of hostname, fully-qualified hostname, and
no hostname that I can think of in the /etc/hosts and /etc/bootparams files.

Please email me any ideas and I'll try them out and summarize.  Thanks!
