Giles, If you tested the mount externally and it works this probably wouldnt be a NFS issue. Just on a guess form experience and what you've posted. the kernel is loading, but the rootfs isnt. Your debug messages seems to nearly confirm this. So if you can add the line mentioned on my blog post to inittab ( which is copied from Roberts guide ), perhaps you'll get more information as to what is exactly happening.
Good luck, ill be on later today. Bed time for me.
