I'd look into dnsmasq. You can find packages at:

	http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dnsmasq/

It's very easy to set up for a small network DHCP/DNS and it also can do 
BOOTP. I'm not sure if the documentation is very clear about BOOTP and you 
may need some prior knowledge to know what to configure.

Still, dnsmasq is probably the best way to go if you don't need all the 
advanced stuff from ISC bind and ISC dhcpd.

PS And if you want to score some good community-points you could volunteer 
to improve the dnsmasq documentation for setting up a bootp-server.
