We have some Jupiter X terms floating around here that we wanted to have
boot via bootp. We have joind running as a bootp server on an
Alphaserver 2100 running 4.0B. (These X terms were using config data in
their NVRAM, but that's dangerous from a management standpoint.) I
tried some time ago to get this working, but failed. Today, I thought
to rename the machines and lose the underscores, and lo and behold, it
worked. Does anyone know of an undocumented restriction on the '_'
character in names when using bootp/joind?
