Bootp requests are broadcasts so any server on the subnet running bootpd (or dhcpd) will try to respond. If you can get the MAC address of the requsting client then you may be able to figure where the request is coming from. If you are not using your D-box as a bootpd (DHCP) server for X-terminals, printers, PC's, etc. then you can simply disable bootpd.
