Here is the interesting part:

It appears that it was able to mount the root filesystem, but not devfs.

Where it says "err" is the errno value.  It is negative in the kernel,
but would be positive if it was reported to your program.  If you dig
through the include files far enough, you'll find that 2 is ENOENT.
(You could also write a C program that says
        errno = 2; perror("");
to find out - that could almost be easier than finding it in errno.h)

You can't tell from this message, but devfs wants to be mounted on /dev.
I believe that you are missing /dev from your root filesystem, so on
your server, "mkdir /home/nfs/dev".

>Warning: unable to open an initial console.

Since it couldn't mount devfs on /dev, it couldn't open /dev/console (or
whatever it is trying to use for the console).  I find that on my 7260,
I don't have to make any device nodes in /dev because devfs creates them
all.
