trouble with portmap on diskless machines

[viral@seul.org]

Hi,
I have a cluster of diskless machines. 
I've followed the instructions in the diskless package, and the machines
boot up as a result. 
The diskless package is simply great. I'd spent a whole lot of time making
SuSE remote boot and thats what I have to use until i get Debian working
properly. 

NIS doesn't work on the diskless machines. After some looking around, 
I figured that it was the portmapper that really wasn't working.
It shows up in the ps listing, and there are no errors reported during
bootup for portmap.

But rpcinfo -p localhost says 'RPC: Remote System error - Connection refused'
and ypbind says 'Neigbour table overflow'.

Please reply straight to me, as I'm not on the list, yet.
