Peter, If you are getting an error about 'No root-path' then you are definately NOT having a NFS or mountd problem. The workstation hasn't gotten far enought to have that problem yet.
It is more likely that the /etc/dhcpd.conf file is missing the 'option root-path' statement, or the workstation isn't getting any DHCP reply during the /linuxrc phase of booting. You say that your dhcpd.conf file is identical to the sample. How about you send me a copy of your /etc/dhcpd.conf file, so i can have a peek. Also, what kind of network card are you using ? Is it by chance a 3com 3c509, and you haven't turned off Plug-n-play on the card ? (just a wild guess). Anyway, send me that info, and maybe I can help you get it going.
