BOOTP load of a DOS from a Netware or 3Com server.
Could that be RPL? I have a WD800x ethernet card with netboot PROM sold
with a "Netware ready" or some such workstation that it took me a bit to
figure out was looking for an RPL boot server, not BOOTP/TFTP.

I'll bet you have an
ArcNet card, and on the card it has a BIOS bootloader that was designed
to do a BOOTP load of a DOS from a Netware or 3Com server.
Pull the card and it will probably boot normally off the floppy.
