Yes, Donald, there is... Here's a "locate bootpc" from my sunsite mirror:

/usr/ftp/pub/Linux/system/Network/admin/bootpc.v031.lsm
/usr/ftp/pub/Linux/system/Network/admin/bootpc.v031.tgz
/usr/ftp/pub/Linux/system/Network/admin/bootpc.v045.lsm
/usr/ftp/pub/Linux/system/Network/admin/bootpc.v045.tgz
/usr/ftp/pub/Linux/system/Network/sunacm/Other/bootpc
/usr/ftp/pub/Linux/system/Network/sunacm/Other/bootpc/bootpc-cam.tar.gz
/usr/ftp/pub/Linux/system/Network/sunacm/Other/bootpc/bootpc-net3.tgz

Ciao,
