Error! Failed to mount the root directory via NFS


Possible reasons include:

1) NFS services may not be running on the server

2) Workstation IP does not map to a hostname, either in /etc/hosts or in DNS.

3) Wrong address for NFS server in the dhcp config file

4) Wrong pathname for root directory in the DHCP config file
