Jan,
First, ther are some problems with the installer's partitioner; to avoid
this, make your disk an 'option' disk under Irix. This will set up one
big partition to install onto. Just skip partitioning altogether in the
installer, then.
I expect you can fix your bootp problems by debugging it by using tcpdump
or another packet sniffer on the network. However, forcing it like you are
is just fine too.
