  I'm on vacation, but as I recall that happens when you try to boot a
diskless workstation from a server which doesn't know the client
ethernet number. When the lookup fails with a "no such machine" the boot
software gets confused.

  This may also happen is you try to NFS mount from a machine which
doesn't know you, I am far from any manuals.
