Subject: MBX860 mbxroot.min problem.

I'm attempting to boot an MBX860 card using the mbxroot.min.tgz filesystem. 
The following listing shows that the zImage is TFTPed OK and the kernel starts
loading.  When the NFS mount is attempted, the IP address of the NFS server
appears to be corrupted from what was used before.  I've successfully executed
the NFS mount on another network using the server address 192.168.1.1 and MBX
address 192.168.1.4.  What would cause the boot arguments to be changed from
the Program Load settings?

Thanks for your time.
