it's hard to tell what's going on without precise information, but...

it looks like either the IP address wasn't set up correctly in the
boot parameters, or the IP address got changed after the kernel
started booting.

when you boot the kernel from redboot, if you want to have an NFS
root, you need to include the option ip= with the IP address of the board.

so if the board's address were 192.168.0.50 you'd need to say
ip=192.168.0.50 in addition to nfsroot= , console= and whatever other
parameters you needed.  that will let the kernel mount the NFS file
system as root.

you will need to supply more information (netmask, default route) in
the ip= parameter than just the IP address if the NFS server isn't on
the same IP subnet as the board. (but I don't have the reference handy
to be able to tell you what format that information should be in)

then once the system gets started, it's possible that 
/etc/network/interfaces (on the NFS-mounted root) has the wrong
information which is causing the system to change its IP address to
something other than what it should be.
