My MAC is like
0007 9506 daf4
which, in convention, I should be able to seperate them into
00 07 95 06 da f4 (but I am not sure if they didd something weird or not)

I run my bootpd in server mode without inetd. So easier for me to see what's
going on...
I just did a little bit more experiment, and here are what I found:
whlie bootpd does not work, bootpgw does work partially:
I run bootpgw on the machine 10.0.0.1
then on the same machine, I issued
bootptest 10.0.0.1.
Then bootpgw printed out that it received request from 10.0.0.1
but bootptest claimed that it does not receive any reply. (I did turn off
all the firewall rules).
then I hooked up the diskless with 10.0.0.1 with a hub. But this time,
even bootpgw did not receive any request.
