I like it, but I don't like the parameters...

Maybe we can express it like this:

netroot=fake:xxx.yyy.zzz.www:/mnt root=live:blablabla

and find another name for "fake".. maybe "container"?

netroot=container:nfs:xxx.yyy.zzz.www:/mnt root=live:blablabla

Which reminds me, that we should probably have the possibility to concatenate 
several stages.

root=nfs:xxx.yyy.zzz.www:/mnt|loop:test.img|live:blablabla

comments?
