problems mounting / via nfs using dhcp

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@conectiva.com.br>]

Hi,

    I'm having problems to mount the root filesystem... I compiled the
linux kernel with NFSROOT/BOOTP, and in my dhcpd server this messages is
being logged:

Mar  3 22:26:26 presuntinho dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 0:0:b4:6b:21:8f via 
eth0
Mar  3 22:26:26 presuntinho dhcpd: No applicable record for BOOTP host
0:0:b4:6b:21:8f via eth0

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but what's the missing record in the
/etc/dhcpd.conf?

Just to make things clear: The diskless machine (ok, I'm still using the
floppy to test the setup, maybe tomorrow I'll burn my first eprom... ;>)
already gets its IP, the server IP and the GW IP, then it successfuly uses
tftp to get the kernel, boots the kernel and just time out "Sending BOOTP
requests......"... 

     []s,
