Netbooting step two - fiddling with NFS

My Raspberry Pi Netboot is getting stuck and I'm not sure why. At the point where I think it should be NFS mounting the file system, it stops, but not with a "can't mount root FS" panic, but it seems like it's in never never land. Now, maybe this is SMP related, but I do see it searching for a non-NFS block device at one point before stopping. But sometimes it stops a couple lines after this, sometimes it stops after an additional USB probe. I have to do some more forum digging; but I can just use a micro SD card for now as a workaround. (Thought - I should try mounting my NFS share manually outside of the Pi booter, to ensure its working). Also I have to figure out if there is a way to see what the netboot client is picking up, file wise -- like an interactive way to inspect comdline.txt, for instance.
