by curious coincidence i happened earlier today to notice that
dhcpd(8) observes:
These programs support booting over the Internet. They
should all be run on the same server to allow other systems
to be booted. Dhcpd and tftpd are used to boot everything;
`all on the same server'? i wondered about that at the time,
but now i think i see:
dhcpd makes an arp entry which is what probably allows
it to work: tftpd ends up using that entry and 9load is never asked.
if dhcpd and tftpd are on different machines, it won't work
(unless i suppose proxyarp is also set)
