semi-OT kernel compile question

[mdxi <mdxi@collapsar.net>]

Hi. I'm trying to compile a new kernel for netbooting my SPARCstation ELC 
but I keep running into a wall when it comes to mounting the root 
filesystem.

Everything works fine (booting from my SS20) with a precompiled kernel 
from helllabs.org, but my own builds always die on VFS kernel panics when 
it tries to mount the root FS.

I *know* the problem...according to every HOWTO in existance, one must 
turn on the "Root filesystem as NFS" option in the kernel config. The 
*problem* is that I can find no such option in the 2.2 (or just ot of 
curiosity, 2.4) kernel tree.

Any ideas?
