Do this

ftp to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/nfsroot

edit nfsroot

and add this


Code:
[B]if [ "$IFACE" = "eth0" ]; then[/B]
[B]/sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether [/B][B][COLOR=black]00:1D:EC:03:[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]62:1A[/COLOR][/B]
[B]fi[/B]
[B]exit 0[/B]

change only last 4 digits
if this was your mac
00:1D:EC:03:61:1F

should look like this
could be 00:1D:EC:03:
62:1A


the top of the nfsroot script now looks like this

Code:
#! /bin/sh

# In case the interface is used as nfsroot, avoid ifup, otherwise
# nfsroot may lose response

if [ "$IFACE" = "eth0" ]; then
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether [COLOR=black]00:1D:EC:03:[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]62:1A[/COLOR]
fi
exit 0
nfsroot=0
if test "x$IFACE" = xlo ; then
    exit 0
fi

save changes
reboot DM
reboot router
