Ken,
What is written on the etherboot diskette is not a kernel, it's just
the ethernet device driver for your NIC. When the diskette boots, it
configures the NIC enough to tftp the boot kernel from the server to the
client, and transfer control. The boot kernel I was referring to is the one
that is in /tftpboot, the one that dhcpd.conf points to. I think you have
several choices of which boot kernel to use in oscar, I was curious which
one you're using.
I suspect the boot kernel either does not support your particular NIC,
or the driver for your NIC is broken, and the kernel needs to be rebuilt
with the latest device driver.

Rich,
I tried mounting /tftpboot directly, as well as turning off the NFS (1st
reason), and I got the same result.
I'm guess by network boot kernel, you mean the one that is used in making
the network boot disk? If so, that kernel is the one that was included
with etherboot-5.0.2, which was included with Oscar 1.1.
The tulip driver was the one that is included in the Redhat 7.1 package.
The linux kernel version is 2.4.2-2.
