Hi *!

I tried to netboot my VAXserver 3100 from my Linux machine today,
strictly following the Netboot-HOWTO. Everything goes fine until the
point where tha VAX console says:

---------------------
[...]
sd2: 510 MB, 1872 cyl, 7 head, 79 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 1046206 sectors
boot device: le0
root on le0
nfs_boot: trying DHCP/BOOTP
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: trying RARP (and RPC/bootparam)
nfs_boot: client_addr=10.10.10.22 (RARP from 10.10.10.6)
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: bootparam whoami, error=60
no file system for le0
cannot mount root, error = 79
root device (default le0): 
---------------------

The bootparamd on my machine says:
---------------------
[...]
getfile got question for "server3100" and file "root"
returning server:cel400 path:/mnt/extra/export/vax/root address: 10.10.10.6
---------------------

And I am getting messages from the nfsd in my syslog:
---------------------
[...]
Sep  5 12:31:47 cel400 mountd[1443]: NFS mount of /mnt/extra/export/vax/root attempted from 10.10.10.22 
Sep  5 12:31:47 cel400 mountd[1443]: /mnt/extra/export/vax/root has been mounted by 10.10.10.22 
[...]
---------------------

What could be wrong?
