You said you had 'PXE Boot Roms'. DisklessWorkstations.com doesn't sell PXE bootroms. What you probably have is 'Etherboot boot roms'. So, that leaves me wondering where you set those MOPTS options. If you have Etherboot bootroms, then you need to be setting MOPTS in the option-129 entry in dhcpd.conf. MAKE SURE you also set option-128 properly. Take a look at: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/NFS#NFS_Server_not_responding If you can't get it working, then please send us your dhcpd.conf file, so we can see how you have it set.
