I'm having some issues mounting a root file system over
NFS on Ubuntu.  Might be related.  Just to get it to mount
I had to manually add no_root_squash to the etc/exports 
share entry  After that linux would mount and boot, but 
doesn't have write access to root which results in 
errors on startup.  (I'm using the TimeSys board suport
package so I doubt there is anything wrong with the 
root file system itself.)
