Okay, poked at the problem a bit. It looks like getting an IP using dhcp (or bootp, etc....) is broken. The debian bug page (original link broken - sorry. It links to ubuntu bug) suggests this is fixed - maybe - in a newer version of initramfs-tools.

Specifying IP / netmask / ??? in grub's menu.lst make it work fine so the bug is somewhere in the file:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs
...or possibly in the "ipconfig" command which is called when the script is called using dhcp and other automagic IP address tools.
