Looks OK.

You can also test TFTP using the `tftp' command.

You may want to emphasize the importance of the `-s' option for tftpd. On my
Debian server (which already was being used for TFTP), it wasn't enabled by
default.

BTW, when I copied my FC5 install from hard disk to my NFS server, I didn't
manage to boot from it: it always hung when starting udev.  This problem is not
present in the (older) FC5 NFS root I copied from you. That one worked fine.
