During net boot, the router info should come either from DHCP (x86 and 
SPARC) or the older BOOTPARAM protocol a.k.a rpc.bootparamd (SPARC, and 
maybe x86 too?)

If you're getting an IP for your MAC from DHCP, then you should get your 
router that way too.
If your IP is coming from RARP, then the router should come from 
rpc.bootparamd

If you're using bootparams, make sure the machine running rpc.bootparamd 
has a defult route set for the network the client is on, if it does then 
rpc.bootparamd should pass it along in the response. You can check by 
running rpc.bootparamd in debug mode (run it with -d).
