Works for me. (I still have boot problems, but these seem to be
NFS-related: -ESTALE from an apparently random subset of my mount points
at initial mount time. Restarting rpc.mountd on the server fixes
it. This is with nfs-utils 1.2.2, but I see it right up to 60abb98, that
being the most recent version I tested. This doesn't happen if the
client is running 2.6.34.x, as far as I can tell. It also doesn't happen
with all my 2.6.35.x clients. Sigh. I hate bugs like this.)
