read nfsroot.txt in linux kernel documentation...

make-fai-bootfloppy -d f -v -l -s test2.mfcf \
"nfsroot=129.97.216.178:/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot" \
"ip=129.97.216.52:129.97.216.178:129.97.216.1:255.255.255.0:test2.mfcf::off"


this succeeded in mounting the nfsroot but it then sits there
saying (note without saying nfsroot it tired to do /tfpt...):

Defining variable: BOOT_IMAGE=FAI_FIXED_IP
Defining variable: root=129.97.216.178:/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
Defining variable: ip=both
Defining variable: ip=address:129.97.216.178:129.97.216.1:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module eth1
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module eth2
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module eth3
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module eth4
Reading /tmp/fai/boot.log
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

on the server I can see rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request test2.mfcf

lilo entry:
