How to boot from NFS is explained at
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_nfs_boot, and the
solution you propose requires root privileges to extract the tarball
image, which is not acceptable as Buildroot doesn't run as root.
Therefore, I'll have to mark your patch as Rejected in our patch
tracking system. Do not hesitate to let us know if you disagree and see
a better way of doing things.
Thanks,
Thomas
