DHCP is version 2.0 of bootp.
So yes, there would be a conflict. They both use port 67/68.

The Sun docs outline how to setup dhcpd to be bootp compatible.

But that probably doesn't help your router.

It probably is using ISC dhcpd, and they outline the requirements here
https://kb.isc.org/v1/docs/isc-dhcp-44-manual-pages-dhcpd

but you probably don't have access to your router's configuration at this level.

Probably the best course of action is for you is either turning off DHCP on
your router, and running it locally on a server; or to VLAN segment
your networks to be your "normal TCP/IP with DHCP", and a separate VLAN
with the Sun netbooting running bootparamd.
