There are many things that can go wrong at this point:
  - check whether you have "NFS Root Filesystem" enabled
  - have you specified the proper location of the root filesystem on
    the server in /etc/bootptab?

  - in order to help you, an excerpt of the messages you get when
    you start the diskless client is needed.
