Presented below is an example of the /etc/bootptab file:

# /etc/bootptab: database for bootp server (/etc/bootpd)
#
# Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
#
# Legend:
#  first field -- hostname (not indented)
#  bf -- bootfile
#  bs -- bootfile size in 512-octet blocks
#  cs -- cookie servers
#  df -- dump file name
#  dn -- domain name
#  ds -- domain name servers
#  ef -- extension file
#  gw -- gateways
#  ha -- hardware address
#  hd -- home directory for bootfiles
#  hn -- host name set for client
#  ht -- hardware type
#  im -- impress servers
#  ip -- host IP address
#  lg -- log servers
#  lp -- LPR servers
#  ns -- IEN-116 name servers
#  ra -- reply address
#  rl -- resource location protocol servers
#  rp -- root path
#  sa -- boot server address
#  sm -- subnet mask
#  sw -- swap server
#  tc -- template host (points to similar host entry)
#  td -- TFTP directory
#  to -- time offset (seconds)
#  ts -- time servers
#  vm -- vendor magic number
#  Tn -- generic option tag n
#

# First, we define a global entry which specifies the
# stuff every host uses.

# If you leave "td" empty, run bootpd with the
# "-c /tftpboot" switch so path names (boot files)
# will be interpreted relative to the same
# directory as tftpd will use when opening files.
