One thing that sometimes helps in debugging these problems is to use
an ethernet sniffer to see what your target is really getting from the
NFS server.  You can use something like "tcpdump -vvv -s 1500", or
something fancier like ethereal.  Then you can see whether the target
ever even tries to read the init file, etc.

Best,
  Roland
