Yep, you probably can write a nfs-udeb or something, including the stuff you
need for nfs/smb (no idea what those are), and load it into the image once the

So, what is missing ? i guess you only need the nfs and co modules, right ?

Well, try for yaird, and more especially look at the files in /etc/yaird, and
see how you can include modules and the needed tools to make it happen, even
custom scripts, should be enough to do what you want.
