If this is a newer kernel you are trying to netboot with, it
likely was compiled with the dhcp nfs bootp option which AFAIK is
incompatible with a standard bootp/NFS setup. Something from 1.4.1 should
work with a standalone bootp/nfs setup, 1.4.2 will probably need DHCP by
default and current isn't likely to work period. (IMHO) I have netbooted
this PROM version with a 1.4.1 kernel and host running bootp/NFS on
another 1.4.1 box as the server. It's also possible that the kernel is
corrupt, but not likely.
