You say the client gets its bootimage ok but then tftpd (or more like tcpwrapper) complains that it cannot give out the bootimage. So is romeo/bootImage the bootimage or just some other file? Is there in your client startup scripts that tries to fetch the file again? You say your nfsd (on the server?) hangs. Don't you mean the client hangs because it cannot mount the nfs-root? What is the last message from the client?
