[K12OSN] DELL Client boot trouble - Newbie

[Kevin Haugh]

For the record I get the exact same message when I attempt to netboot 
an iMac... just exchange "ppc" for "i386".  Trouble seems to be with 
the server, but where?  Here's the error message again...

Mounting root filestystem: /opt/ltsp/i386 from: 192.168.0.254
mount: RPC: unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
mount: nfsmount failed: Bad file descriptor
NFS: mount program didn't pass remote address!
mount: Mounting 192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /mnt failed: invalid 
argument

ERROR! Faild to mount the root directory via NFS!
Possible reasons include:
1) NFS services may not be running on the server
2) Workstation IP does not map to a hostname, either in /etc/hosts, or 
in DNS
3) Wrong address for NFS server in DHCP config file
4) Wrong pathname for root directory in the DHCP config file

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Thanks!
