BOOTP from dynamic client and no dynamic leases

Hello All,
I'm currently turning around a problem with dhcpd to which I have yet to 
find any pertinent documentation or even the slightest clue of what's 
going-on.

Can anyone share some light with regards to what I may be missing?   Also, 
DHCP packets are not directed to this server by default ; I seem to be 
getting the bootp request because I configured my AIX box to boot from my 
server and even though I configured an IP address, it still wants to 
launch a bootp request in order to get the filename and tftp instructions.

Ideas?

This is what I'm getting in my syslog.

dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx via eth0: BOOTP from dynamic 
client and no dynamic leases

My dhcpd.conf
# global dhcpd parameters
deny unknown-clients;                   #disallow unknown connections
ddns-update-style none;                 #disallow dynamic DNS updates
log-facility local7;

allow bootp;                            #allow bootp requests, thus the 
dhcp
                                        #server will act as a bootp server

# which network interface the server will listen on
subnet 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        not authoritative;
}

# subnet where I'm receiving the bootp request from
subnet 10.1.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    authoritative;
    option routers 10.1.8.1;
    option broadcast-address 10.1.8.255;
    option domain-name-servers 10.1.2.20;

    pool {
        range 10.1.8.128 10.1.8.129;
        allow dynamic bootp clients;
        dynamic-bootp-lease-length 3600;
        dynamic-bootp-lease-cutoff 3600;
    }
}

host TFM01 {  # nimol client
        hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
        fixed-address 10.1.8.125;
        next-server 10.1.2.61;
        filename "TFM01";
} # nimol TFM01
