An update on the HP/NetBSD front: and that's the only thing that's up.

The boot process requires NFS. I don't trust NFS (never have, never bothered
to install it on the home system here). Sigh. Download, install, configure.

So I have rbootd and rarp working on Linus. Turn on the HP. Using some
network monitoring software I wrote (a near-clone of tcpdump that outputs in
a more concise mannor) I can see the HP making requests of rbootp.

And one lone NFS packet:

-----[ data ]-----
IPv4    208.26.72.7     255.255.255.255 UDP     1023    111
-----[ END OF LINE ]-----

So far no luck getting past that.
