Could you do this again and send the tcpdump output like you did in the 
previous message?  I have a tip, but it probably isn't relevant 
at this stage:

Make sure that /sbin/init in /export/root/xphile is world-executable.  
For some reason the kernel does not access the root NFS partition 
as root, and consequently it cannot execute /sbin/init.  This sometimes 
comes up as a mysterious: Unknown error: code -1.
