According to the Diskless-Boot-HOWTO the file has to be named according 
the IP-address of the client...
But your remark made look up the logs on the server - I should have done 
so from the beginning.
The boot image's name was missing a '0'...

Now that works, but the NFS part isn't working yet...
But that would be different thread. =)
