The post on syslinux list about some OS/X units shipping with
an active DHCP server today strikes a chord. Is there any
possiblity that a rogue dhcp server is on the network segment,
or have you vlanned that possibility out?

If it is reproduceable at a given unit, I would be real
tempted to go packet sniffing for a few minutes.
