You could try doing a man on bootpd. It would tell you that it is the internet boot daemon and is used to enable DHCP, BOOTP and DHCP/BOOTP relay. It would also tell you a lot more!

bootpd is a deamon that is used by bootp protocol.

In simple language. It is used to boot some devices including printers. If you have a printer, you can configure it to boot from the server using bootp, all the IP addresses configured in the bootptab would be used for the printer.

It could be used for more things but that is the only thing I can think of now
