You have two options:
a) boot up the master NFS-Root system, and run apt-get there.
b) run apt-get from a chroot environment.
then use diskless-newhost to update the other directories for each host.
As for the /usr stuff. As I mentioned in private E-Mail, you shouldn't
normally have to export /usr from the server (you use the .../root/usr
directory instead). There might be a bug somewhere, eg. documentation,
that mislead you.
