Ken,
I think I see the problem. If you look in the lui directory,
oscar/OSCAR-1.1/lui/lui-1.11/samples, you'll see the config files that are
used for various LUI boot kernels. The one you used, by default, is the
luikernel.config file, which was used to build bzImage (when you use PXE to
boot, without etherboot) and vmlinuz (the tagged kernel required by
etherboot, the one you're using). In looking through the .config file, I
see no mention of tulip. I think this means it was never compiled into the
network boot kernel. Ergo, when you start up the client, the etherboot
diskette configures the tulip ethernet card enough to tftp over the network
boot kernel, which then fails to configure the tulip card for tcp/ip, which
means NFS will fail miserably to mount the remote root file system.
I think we need a new 2.2 kernel that supports tulip. I'm going to try
to build one now, and I'll post it.. Rich
