What's /dev/pts? You mentioned you intended to use NFS as  root  file
system. Then I'd expect to see /dev/nfs here. [Note: 'n' != 'p']
bootcmd=run setboot;bootm 0xfc000000 0xfc300000
You mentioned you intended to use NFS as root file system.  Then  why
do you use a ramdisk?
## Loading RAMDisk Image at fc300000 ...
   Image Name:   Taihu Ramdisk
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    15447973 Bytes = 14.7 MB
Your ramdisk image is much bigger than  the  default  maximum  kernel
ramdisk  size (4 MB). But you don't pass any ramdisk size information
with your boot arguments:
Kernel command line: root=/dev/pts nfsroot=192.168.2.18:/opt/eldk/ppc_4xx ip=192.168.1.62:::::eth0:off
If you really want to use this  ramdisk,  you  should  set  the  root
device and the ramdisk size appropriately.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
