In addition to Lloyd's suggestions, you can try using this script for
testing:

https://git.launchpad.net/maas/tree/scripts/maas-test-enlistment

If you run this script manually from the same network as the nodes are
booting from (using the private IP address, 10.0.17.1, as the parameter)
you should be able to check that the TFTP files are accessible and the
cloud parameters are correct (that is, the MAAS metadata server that
cloud-init will contact is reachable and providing correct metadata URLs
for booting nodes).

Mike
