(someone posted this version of pxelinux.0 which has been tweaked to work properly on serial consoles and it worked for me; i think i got it from here...
nfs: RPC call returned error 101 RPC: sendmsg call returned error 101solution: add "exit;" line to the top of /nfsroot/debian/etc/init.d/rcS.d/S40networking. we don't need this anyways because our ifaces have already been initialized before we used nfs to mount / this actually runs /sbin/ifup -a which, afaict must cause the ifaces to drop and be brought back up, which is fatal to our filesystem because / needs the network! this was a bit tricky to figure out.
NOTE: all the *** /etc/rcS.d/... *** lines are from me, i threw them into /nfsroot/debian/etc/init.d/rcS so i could figure out in which init script errors were occuring
