What does the stack trace look like? If you get dropped into the debugger,
type "t" at that point. Also, what do the messages look like just before
it? You should have seen some "root is ..." messages which indicate
exactly where root's mounted from.

Also, showmount <nfs server> should show all the mounts of your server's
fs's. It should tell you what the server thinks the client mounted.

Take care,
