"bootp" and "tftp" and the like are well understood.  i'm not sure if
using the term `standard' is a little too strong, but these protocols
are used for getting going X/terminals, cisco boxes, etc, including on
HP boxes.  however, i would suggest that if you intend to implement
bootp yourself, that this be a a case where the difference between
technical and commercial feasibility be examined closely..
