I should probably try to play a bit more around with nfsroot. As for now, I skipped it completely, and chose to rely on initrd instead. I get grub to download a (quite big) initrd from the server, and then it's passed to the kernel as the root system. After booting, I can put up network and mount partitions through nfs. -- Check our new Mobster game at http://hstudd.cs.uit.no/mobster/ (web game, updates every 4th hour, no payment, no commercials)
