>Description:
rbootd assumes that integer can be placed on non aligned addresses on vax
architecture. It can, but the compiler doesn't handle it properley (maybe
because of optimizer, -O2). The RMP message structure gets corrupt.

>How-To-Repeat:
try netbooting a hp workstation with rboot, using a vax machine as bootserver.
>Fix:
Removing the vax ifdef in the rmp headerfile and recompiling made it 
work for me.
