NFS problems aren't related to syslinux or any boot loader at all. This
really isn't the forum for such questions.

Error 101 is "Network is unreachable". Try specifying also the netmask,
or the full options:

ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>

All - forgive me for the naive question:

Am a newbie to PXE booting and Linux; I misunderstood my nomenclature
and thought PXE booting was somehow related to "syslinux"... thank you
for clarifying that it is not.

I get confused, as I used the following as a guide to my objective:

http://www.digitalpeer.com/id/linuxnfs

I will therefore appropriately search for the mailing list for
linuxnfs, fedora/centos and PXE-booting-on linux specifically.

Again, appreciate the enlightenment.

Best,
