 Both. I thought pxeboot had successfully finished its job once it loaded
 the kernel over nfs. The dhcpd/nfsd server is also updated. The hardware /
 network hasn't changed since the last known working state.
 
 Building a kernel with DEBUG_NFS_BOOT_DHCP hasn't changed the output:
 
  7.2... nfs_boot: trying DHCP/BOOTP
 25.9... nfs_boot: timeout...
 30.9... nfs_boot: timeout...
 35.9... nfs_boot: timeout...
 40.9... nfs_boot: timeout...
 
 Running tcpdump on the dhcpd server shows no requests at all corresponding
 to those, so I don't think that changing the timeout would help.
