It's not impossible. In fact, it's quite simple.

You're running with root filesystem over NFS,  so  just  start  up  a
network  sniffer  (like  ethereal)  and  check  all  NFS requests and
replys. Probably  something  is  missing  in  your  root  filesystem.
Something essential, like /dev/console or so.

Yes, attach a BDI2000 and check where you are...
