Ran into this myself. The kernel isn't compiled with bootp
support so it can't find it's IP address to use so it's not
bringing the networking up, thus the sendmsg error. The way to
fix this is to specify nfsaddrs=xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx.xx.xx is
the IP address of the client.
ie:
boot -f bootp():linuxr4k-ip22 nfsaddrs=192.168.1.2 nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/sgi-linux
At the prom prompt.
