Might help to read up on diskless booting. When MOP booting my
DECstation installations I use kernel parameters like this:

   root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=1.2.3.4:/arch ip=dhcp console=ttyS2

Then just make sure that /arch is an NFS share on 1.2.3.4 (or
whatever your fileserver's IPA is) with the appropriate root
filesystem for the installer. I usually also put basedebs.tar and
the kernel on there as well to save time.
