Make sure that the ppc directory is exported. You should see a line like
this in /etc/exports:
/opt/ltsp/ppc 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,sync)
If you don't see a "/opt/ltsp/ppc" line, you can either add that line by
hand or run (if you have a stock install)
/opt/ltsp/templates/k12linux/setup-update.sh
Afterwards, run:
exportfs -a
That should do it.

What does the logs say? /var/log/schoolbell
