[Soekris] net 4511 PXE boot won't mount NFS

I'd suggest here that you look at installing tftpd-hpa (yep, apt-get
install tftpd-hpa will do it), and then configure standard pxe booting
for Debian.
The reason there is simple, Debian has already found about 90% of the
issues you will run into, and as such the pxe installation is now
(scarily enough) rather painless using debian-installer via the network.
I do my installations using a http server on the installation server
(thttpd of all things due to it's small footprint, the installation
server is a soekris itself).
Simply put, download netboot.tgz from a debian installation mirror
(specific version not necessary), the install to your tftpd directory.
Configure your dhcpd.conf to send the necessary files (I've run all of
the above successfully from windows if you need to by the way).

And the dhcpd.conf file for dhcp3-server...

}
--- /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf ---
That is all the basic references needed to get debian working. My
pxelinux.cfg/default file runs a preseed file as well, but if you want
to do manual installations, just strip the preseed/url kernel option in
that file. Also the serial console I assume is running the soekris
default of 19200.
Finally to speed up installations - make sure your terminal software
connecting to the soekris you are installing is set to flow-control OFF.
