Ok, am using NFS as well. To get an RFS for a NFS based system the only thing you need to do is unpack the ramdisk, userdata and system images. If you are using android cupcake you should be able to mount the images it as a ext2 filesystem and extract the data. For donut you need to mount it as a yaffs2 filesystem. There is also a tooling that can do the extracting for you, tool is call unyaffs2. What is left is to tell the kernel that you are using an NFS rootfs and set the correct init in the kernel command line.
