I cant help with your NFS problems but you may want to try the the Debian Woody floppy install. I've done it on two machines now and it seems to work well for the most part.

The way it works is that you copy a minimum install to 6 floppies and that is enough to get you connected to the internet. After that you install the rest via the web. I just did it again last night -- I replace Mandrake, apt-get made me a convert.

There is a tutorial here:
[zorka.com...]
And here:
[debian.org...]

But I would start with the floppies from the woody section instead of stable, it will start you off with a lot more current foundation.

Here are the Woody floppy images:
[ftp.us.debian.org...]
