might want to make that
/cdrom          *(ro,insecure,all_squash)

But that shouldn't make any difference.  I don't know why the Debian
installer wouldn't like host:/cdrom as the installation source in that
case.

Once you've got the installer up, telnet to it again to open a shell,
and do a df, see if it managed to mount the CDROM (or anything) via NFS
or not.  If it does have something mounted, do an ls on the mounted
thing and see if the filenames look correct.

Or just do an HTTP install.
