I would encourage you to read "Documentation/nfsroot.txt" from the
Linux source tree... I consider that the definitive documentation
about kernel command lines to boot a machine from NFS. I would
encourage all "early userspace" implementations to adhere to that doc
as closely as possible... and at least be backwards compatable with
it!
