while I have not played with NFSROOT yet.. If you want real
security I would look into how the BBLCD is setup. it is a
CD-based distribution. i mention it because it does a lot
of work in making the system available off a read only media.
it would take some work to adapt this system to NFS but i
believe it could work.

the url is here:
http://www.bablokb.de/bblcd/

with some effort I have made a CD that has:
SSH server
NFS server
NFS Client
BIND Name server
PCMCIA support
Firewalling/NAT support


it works by creating a .tar.gz file which extracts to the
/var filesystem which is on a RAMDISK. the rest is read-only.
really nifty. /etc is read only, / is read only ..

with this setup you could get by with almost everything
read only except home directories.
