Looks like it's not getting the path to the root filesystem on the nfs
server.

Yeah.

Here's how I boot my sun xterminal-1 off my FC-3 Linux box:

        host one {
                hardware ethernet 08:00:20:7a:ed:4c;
                fixed-address 192.168.15.15;
                option root-path "/home/netboot";
                server-name "gold.bl";
                option host-name "one";
        }

The "filename" part is handled by the rarp process, you shouldn't need
that line.
