Works fine here for both platforms.  Marsha Jackson did most of the 
heavy lifting to get the boot daemon working and I merged the code into 
the netatalk build.  Did it ever appear in the netatalk code base? The 
developers seemed utterly disinterested in adopting the patches.

It's been so many years since I've messed with it that I couldn't being 
to explain to how to bootstrap the setup.  If mine went away tomorrow, I 
probably would not be able to recreate a working boot server - as 
embarrassing as that is to admit..

The last e-mail address I had for Marsha (who I've not heard from in 4 
or 5 years) is: MenaceChgo@aol.com

Can you outline (a) where you picked up the code (so I can see if it 
resembles my CVS sandbox) and (b) what you've tried?
