Rather than try to decode this by hand, I recommend you use Wireshark.
It has proven invaluable to me to identify and resolve networking
problems on boot (particular with NFS root-mounted file systems).

WireShark can decode the DHCP packets and the NFS request headers, which
is very handy.  You can tell which side of the connection is sending wrong
information, or not responding.  BTW - in case it's not obvious, you run
it on host and capture the ethernet traffic on the connection between your
host and target.
