I can confirm this: I use NetBSD with ISC dhcpd (thanks, Ted Lemon) to
start up even the compute and file servers.  Which brings me to a
question I have been meaning to ask Presotto about: the vendor values
he gave me worked fine until I upgraded to the latest version of
NetBSD and, presumably, a later version of ISC dhcpd.  For some
reason, they are no longer understood by the kernel.  They used to be:

	option vendor-encapsulated-options 80:04:c0:60:20:86:81:04:c0:60:20:85;

and I can't find any documentation to instruct me how I should change
them.  I guess I should join the dhcpd mailing list and ask there, but
I really have only one query :-(
