Apparently, this depends on the version of rpc.nfsd on Linux. I had no 
problems with the redhat vesion of nfsd. All i did was to specify 
no_root_squash in the exports file so the hp is able to access its own 
root directory as root...

Also, don't forget to switch on RARP in the Linux kernel (it's in the TCP 
section marked as "save to leave untouched"...).

Gook luck.
