Oh sure, it's network-booting OK. DHCP is working and the client is booting off the server. It looks like it's running some kind of default script - it's looking for Stallion cards, then 3C59X, then CS89x0 then:
IP-Config: No network devices available
Partition check:
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy
VFS: Insert root floppy and press Enter
No network devices available? Huh? Where? I'm using eepro100 for the client's on-board NIC to get to this point. Not sure what this refers to.

I sounds like the network boot wasn't sucessful at all. On the console of the client, you should see it send out network requests and then load the netboot kernel and run it.

I've been through all the wizard steps with no error messages and get to the point where it asks me to reboot my clients. So I watch as the machine boots and I get a "cannot mount root fs - trying floppy" and "NFS not running" or something very close to that and I'm stuck at that point. I can see the client filesystems under /tftpboot/{client ip-address}/ and nfsd is running on the server. I'm guessing I need to explicitly export the filesystems but I'm real weak as far as nfs goes. Can anyone tell me if I'm overlooking something really simple?
