once you've validated that you have a reasonable
ipnet in /lib/ndb/local covering your network (that's
been my problem many times; verify with ndb/ipquery
especially that you have a fs= entry), and you've tried
adding -Dd to bootargs (adding verbosity to
ip/ipconfig), i usually starting hacking in debug
messages to /sys/src/9/boot, to taste, until
i can reduce things down to a nice consummé.

if you're loading the kernel, you've gotten pretty far,
so it sounds like dhcp/tftpd themselves are properly
configured.

bon appitit.
