John,
The value of the root-path should include the IP address of the server.
For example, in an ISC dhcpd server, you would set:
option root-path "192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386";
I'm sure your config for the Netware dhcp server would have a different
syntax, but the value between the quotes should still be the same.
The /linuxrc script in the initrd will look at that root-path value
and if there is a ':' in the string, it will take the value on the
left as the IP address of the NFS server, and the value on the right
as the directory to mount. If you don't have the ':' in there,
then it will assume the same IP address as your dhcp server.
I hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
