had another look and saw you have the no root squash option

I don't know anything about wraplinux. My server is on sarge and I booted
few clients with no problem, but I used custom initrd (and kernel).

I also don't understand (created image, and stuck it on a floppy). Did you
use the floppy to flash your network card's bios or to boot from?

I would just check the initrd file

cd /tmp
mkdir test
cd test
zcat /boot/<INITRD> | cpio -i -H newc

... do whatever you need to mount rw ...

find . ! -name "*~" | cpio -H newc --create | gzip -9 > /boot/<INITRD>

watch out - this will overwrite your initrd, so make backup
