    i did something similar, i had suse on a laptop, made a tftboot file and
    net-booted my
    ss20 from it, then i had the laptop set up as the nfs server and loaded
    the ss20 over the network.
    actually nfs didn't work so hot so i used ftp....i don't remember what
    the problem was and i never did
    search for it, i think it was something to do with the exports file. ftp
    worked fine though.
