Phil,
That's one of the problems with using the kernel-space dhcp client.
The newer versions of LTSP, 2.09pre4, using user-space dhcp client,
and you can specify the IP address of the NFS server in the root-path
entry of dhcpd.conf.
Just set the value of the root-path to:
"192.168.0.1:/opt/ltsp/i386"
Hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
