Sven,
I found this initrd image (9/20/2003) that I am using for now:
http://www.soziologie.ch/users/steinlin/d-i/netboot-initrd.gz
However, I am having problems NFS mounting the image, something that I have
done successfully with my own kernels.
Did you enable root NFS? If not, could you please recompile the kernel with
this enabled? This is what I added to my kernel to get it to work:
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
