Hi Brian,

Working with a Linux RH6.0 client I had those kind of
messages in two cases:

1) There were no lines about each-other hosts - boot
server and diskless client - in the /etc/hosts files.
this generated - if I remember well - a kernel panic
when it was to mount the root filesystem.

2) In the /etc/exports of the server, the line which
shared the root filesystem was: 
/tftpboot/<diskless_host_name> 
<diskless_host_name>.<domain_name>(rw)

when it should have been:

/tftpboot/<diskless_host_name> 
<diskless_host_name>.<domain_name>(rw,no_root_squash)

The first form grants the access to the sever as
"nobody", while in the second case the access is
granted as "root" -- I belive that this is your case.

Hope it helps,
