I did find one other problem in the pxe stuff. I'm using ISC's dhcpd to manage the network. The pxe client is having trouble with the option root-path "/client/root" statement. DHCPD sends it to the pxe client fine (tcpdump), but pxeboot prints root path * (actually a diamond - control D char) On the nfs server, I see a failed attempt to mount "/*" (where * is a diamond - control D). So, there appears to be some kind of problem passing parameters between the various boot stages. If you don't specify a root-path in the dhcpd.conf, everything's fine. It's not a show stopper, but it should be investigated/fixed. What can I do to help find the problem?
