Useing PXELinux, right?

You have /dev/ in your nfs root, right?

doing something like this in the pxelinux.cfg/ipaddr file, right?

DEFAULT kernel
APPEND root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=ip.of.nfs.srv:/path/to/mount:ip=<localip>:<nfsip>:<defroute>:<subnetmask>:hostname
DISPLAY message.txt
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 50
