[parisc-linux] nfs-root question

Um, have any of you set up a nfs-root client with this hp-kernel?

My palo.conf has both root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=172.16.100.7:/share/hplinux

My dhcp server is serving all the info it needs, I even added a:
option root-path "/share/hplinux" to it.


My problem is that I keep getting a panic from not being able to mount
anything.

it keeps saying that root=
which I don't beleive it should...

the dir on the server is exported {I tested it by mounting it before
trying to boot with it}

The dhcpd.conf looks like:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
option domain-name "eng.nateng.com";
option domain-name-servers 172.16.100.7;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 259200;

subnet 172.16.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	range	172.16.100.130		172.16.100.149;
	option	broadcast-address	172.16.100.255;
	option  routers                 172.16.100.191;
}

host	hptux	{
	hardware ethernet 08:00:09:8c:02:ae;
	fixed-address	hptux.eng.nateng.com;
	option root-path "/share/hplinux";
}

my palo.conf =
--commandline=2/ HOME=/ root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=172.16.100.7:/share/hplinux ip=both
--recoverykernel=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.17-32
--init-partitioned=/dev/sda

I've set up nfs-root/diskless clients before, but I am stuck on this...
Everything looks fine, except it looks like it is forgetting the root=
option.
