I tried this and got no further. I decided to focus on the 0.0.0.0 business
and added a 

  option next-server 10.222.0.1;

to my dhcpd conf. This did the trick. Apparently some ROM boot clients
resort to 0.0.0.0 and connect to nothing if the next-server option is not
used.

So, I am much closer. Now I see the Boot Installer option screen and get on
down the road to 

 Trying to mount root from nfs:
 NFS ROOT: 10.222.0.1:/cdrom/boot
 sis0: link state changed to UP

and that is where it grinds to a halt.

I did the gzip -d on the tftpboot/boot/boot/mfsroot.gz, which is the only
place I could find the mfsroot. I also corrected my path accordingly. Here
is the thing - I am booting to the CD. I cannot unzip the mfsroot on the CD.
