Marcus,

It has nothing to do with ftp directly, but with inetd. In the file
services.net.sys, comment out the two (?) lines referring to bootp (begin
the lines with '# ' - the file should contain example comment lines, just
follow the format). Restart inetd (or, I think inetd.net.sys -c will reread
the config file).
