I have my server running at 100 mb/s connected to a Netgear 8 port
10/100 switch where one of the ports is linked to a 10 MB hub and
from there the client machine with a RealTek 8029 10 MB nic card is
connected.
Using a gpxe cdrom, I get a PXE boot going and everything seems fine
till it is time to mount the root filesystem. I get errors that the
NFS server is not responding interspersed with OK messages.
Possibilities:
1) The speed change from 100 mbps to 10 mbps is the problem.
2) The nic is bad, though it works in Windows okay.
3) The sync mount option is causing a problem.

I've been trying to following the NFS site for troubleshooting,
but I'm not getting enough information on exactly what is
causing the server to be inaccessible.
I have tried bypassing the hub, didn't make any difference.
