Finally received an answer on this from Symantec since Sun still swears they
don't support bootp:

*SunOS and Solaris OS do not include the standard bootp protocol as part of
their OS; instead, they use a proprietary bootp protocol:rpc.bootparamd.
rpc.bootparamd will perform the same task as bootp


In  Solaris, Instead  of the boot protocol we make use of is bootparams.  It
is a modified bootp - uses the same port but it is initiated by a UDP-based
broadcast protocol over port 67.

bootparamd was also not listed as a svc by default, but after searching for
it I was able to find the parameters to start it and get the service
running. BMR is working great now.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] BMR boot server on Solaris

Hi all, I am new to BMR and trying to load up a boot server on a Solaris
platform.  The BMR documentation says that bootp, NFS, and tftp is required
on all Unix Boot servers, but Solaris does not support bootp.  I have tftp
turned on, is that all I really need?  If I do need bootp, how do I enable
it on Solaris?
