I just spent several evenings finding out that FreeBSD's bootparamd

Tyler Spivey filed PR 112163 about this. He also included a simple
patch, to clear up most of the problems (replacing long with ip_addr_t
in several key places).
Yes, I've encounted the same problem on amd64 as well while trying to
netboot a Netra from a FreeBSD/amd64 server. I recall the problem of
using long's.
What's the likelihood that his patch could be applied before 7.0 is
fully released? The patch I'm talking about is his second shot,
attached to his problem report here:

I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the pointer.
