Hi, I know this was a while ago, I'm running into the sort-of the same
thing.  However I'm a little confused.

The issue described in the WIKI is spot-on.  Out of the box 4.2.1 works on a
100Mb NIC thru a Gb switch to my 7 iMacs.  No problems.

I upgraded the card to a Gb NIC, and tried to change everything over without
a reinstall, and well, I made more of a mess than I should have.

So I reinstalled.  Figured while I was at it, might as well download and
install the 4.4.1 iso's.

On boot I get your problem.  NFS  Server 192.168.0.254 not responding, will
keep trying.  I went through the steps in the WIKI and now I get:

NFS  Server 192.168.0.254 not responding, will keep trying
NFS  Server 192.168.0.254 not responding, will keep trying
NFS  Server 192.168.0.254 OK

And then it hangs.  The WIKI has you change the dhcpd.conf file.  You said
something about changing the lts.conf?  I can't seem to figure out what
needs to be changed in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf

Do you remember what you did there?
