That would be a very worthwhile project actually. Create a package that
uses klibc, does BOOTP/DCHP/NFS and parses the the ip=foo,bar options
the same way the kernel does so that we can finally get rid of the in
kernel stuff. That, the code that reads an initrd from a floppy disk
(nobody can really be using that code anymore, can they?), and the md
setup are probably the last obstacles to doing a nice little cleanup of
the mount_root code in the kernel.
I just wish I had more time.
