_________________________________________________________________
bootp [iface_name] [silent | noisy]		   Default: noisy
_________________________________________________________________

This invokes the BOOTP client routines, which will broadcast on
the specified interface (or the first found if none is specified)
for a BOOTP server to provide us with its network configuration.
The broadcasts occur every 5 seconds, for a period of 30 seconds.
If "noisy" was specified, the bootp information is displayed on
the console.  The information provided can include our IP address
(if the iface IP address was originally 0.0.0.0), our subnet mask
(and therefore the interface broadcast address), our hostname,
gateway and DNS addresses.
