Description of problem:
The installer is not able to get an ip-address over dhcp from the dhcp-server "bootp(bootptab)"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora7 (7.0, 7.91, 7,92) and Fedora8 (8.0) installer 

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Debian 4.0 tftp/bootp-server
tftpd: tftpd-hpa (debian repo)
bootpd: bootp (debian repo)
pxe config:
DEFAULT vnc-install/Fedora-8/vmlinuz
APPEND  initrd=vnc-install/Fedora-8/initrd.img vnc vncpassword=testing1 lang=de_DE keymap=de resolution=800x600 ip=dhcp method=http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/  Fedora/i386/os/ ksdevice=bootif root=/dev/ram0 ro --

bootptab config:
host:ip=<ip>:ha=<mac>:sm=<netmask>:gw=<gateway>:ht=1:ds=<nameserver>:bf=pxelinux.0:td=/:sa=<tftpserver>:dl=172800

2. simply boot over pxe and accept dhcp-configuration(another bug.. installer asks if you want to configure network even if you did this in the commandline - but not our problem now)


Actual Results:
The installer is not able to get the ip-configuration over dhcp.
In the error-console are many errors:
ERROR: parsy_option_buffer opion router-solicitation-address (255) larger than buffer.
of sometimes
ERROR: parsy_option_buffer opion netbios-node-type (255) larger than buffer.

This error occurs NOT with the dhcp-server dhcpdv3 - only with bootp - but FedoraCore 6 and all other distributions and dhcp-clients work fine.

Expected Results:
The installer should become an ip-address and start the vnc-installation
