well, my razor test server is a virtualbox guest bridged to the lan.
The virtual host box is connected by wire.
My initial test client was a vmware guest on my laptop which is
connected per wlan.
I tried a virtualbox guest instead on my laptop with similar experience.
It downloaded the kernel but hangs at the initrd.
i tried a virtualbox guest on the same host as the razor server is and
the kernel boots and registers with razor.
So I got something to work with at least, in a limited scope for now,
though.
Thank You, hoping that the puppet mailing list is the appropiate media
for questions about razor.
