Root-NFS: No NFS server available,giving up

["Wei Xue" <wei_xue@uclink.berkeley.edu>]

Hi, I try to boot over the network, but it couldn't find the root fs via NFS.  I don't know what I 
did wrong, I checked all the other posts regarding this error, it seems like I did everything I 
need to do.  So here are configuration files.

In my /etc/dhcpd.conf:

subnet 147.11.45.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
         option routers 147.11.45.224;
         option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
                                                                                 
         host ctrl-mod {
                 hardware ethernet 00:90:27:19:58:1B;
                 fixed-address 147.11.45.10;
                 option host-name "ctrl-mod";
                 next-server 147.11.45.224;
                 filename "/mnt/minrpm/boot/vmlinuz.test";
                 option root-path "/mnt/minrpm/";
}
}
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

in my /etc/hosts:
147.11.45.10            ctrl-mod

in my /etc/hosts.allow:
portmap: 147.11.45.10
lockd: 147.11.45.10
mountd: 147.11.45.10
rquotad: 147.11.45.10
statd: 147.11.45.10

in my /etc/exports:
/mnt/minrpm/ *(rw,no_root_squash)

And I did start my portmap and NFS.

Does anyone see anything wrong? 

Also, there is one website I saw, it has "Sending BOOTP requests .... OK" before it has the log 
"NFS....", but I don't have any line that says "Sending BOOTP requests...." when it boots up.  I 
wonder if it has to do with that.  When I configure my kernel, I did set IP support BOOTP.

Thanks in advance!
