You could check what you have in the /etc/beowulf/config

This file contains the Beowulf configuration and needs to be properly 
set up
before you create your  boot floppy.
I think if you update the file manually you need to restart the beowulf 
deamons (from beosetup) before  you generate a new floppy.

Here is an example of config

interface eth1
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iprange 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.131

# Default libraries
libraries /lib /usr/lib

# Default file system policies.
fsck full
mkfs never

# Default location of boot images
bootfile /var/beowulf/boot.img
kernelimage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-33.beosmp
kernelcommandline apm=power-off mem=1023m
