NFS basics ??

Hello,

I'm quite new to Linux in general, so may be one or the other question may sound quite simple to you. Nevertheless:

My situation:
I have a Workstation with static IP runnning RedHat 9.0. This is the NFS Server.
Secondly I have a singele-chip PC with a flash ROM running RedBoot which then loads the Linux Busybox system if not interrupted. It also has ethernet connection and a static IP. This is the client system.

I'd like to have the client system booting via NFS from the server system, so that I can develop software and perhaps alter the operating system for the single-chip PC on the server system and thus reducing time for development.

In principle I thought I have to do as following:
- setting up the NFs server under RedHat
- changing the bootscript under redboot to boot/ execute the busybox from the server like:
exec -c"root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=12.345.67.89:/path/on/server/to/nfs_root ip=12.345.67.88::12.345.67.1:255.255.255.0:embed-o-matic:eth0:off console=ttyS1 init=/bin/init"

As you will know that's not working.
What have I to do instead, step by step ?
I'm thankful for every hint !

Cheers,
Franziska.
