"Not where they should be?" There are two options:
(1) Your binutils are broken; >= 2.9 I believe to be good.
(2) The bootp constructor is broken, in that it isn't
reading the elf phdr properly.
Number 1 may be disproven by booting the kernel in question directly.
I'll see what I can see in the bootp code, which which I am not familiar.
