AFAIK portmap is required on both ends for the RPC calls.

Try a simpler/different test case:

- Use debootstrap with arch options to make a filesystem on server.
- Build all the required drivers into the kernel.
- Use the NFSROOT=x.x.x.x Option with no directory
	= This forces the server to mount the default directory
	  specified in './linux/fs/nfs/nfsroot.c'
	= Make sure the bootstrap filesystem is at this directory.

Simpler or different? You be the judge ;)
