It seems more like a DECstation issue.

What I have observed with the 5k/25 and /133 is that the arp entry on the
server gets updated when the DECstation (re)starts and all goes well when
the machine continues with a netboot. Leave either machine at the console
prompt long enough so the arp entry expires - if it exists, issue a `boot`
command and the DECstation reports a time-out.

Indeed, I made a script for each machine that does that.
