I talked to Richard Hirst about this a few hours ago, and it looks like
there's a problem with the SCSI driver. It's unclear how difficult it
would be to get that going, but it certainly is possible to fix.
You'd probably have more success with the 720/730 if you did nfsroot.
If anyone has a 720 or 730 (or any other machine) with correct or broken
kernel boot logs, I'm collecting them! Those can help developers who
don't have access to all the hardware.
