could use some troubleshooting tips

[Seth Galitzer]

One more piece of information.  Here's the exact place in
make-fai-nfsroot that the error occurs, in the create_nfsroot()
function:

    if [ "$FAI_DEBMIRROR" ]; then
        [ "$verbose" ] && echo "Mounting $FAI_DEBMIRROR to
$NFSROOT/$MNTPOINT."
        mkdir -p $NFSROOT/$MNTPOINT
        mount -o ro,noatime,rsize=8192 $FAI_DEBMIRROR $NFSROOT/$MNTPOINT
|| \
                die "Can't mount $FAI_DEBMIRROR to $NFSROOT/$MNTPOINT."
        fi

And the corresponding values from fai.conf:
FAI_DEBMIRROR=node00:/mnt/mirror/debian
NFSROOT=/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
MNTPOINT=/mnt2

This definitely looks like an NFS configuration problem.  Any advice is
welcome.

Thanks.
Seth
