Never mind, with some searching, got it working for any stock Debian kernel-image package, with devfs, with the network driver as a module. There's no need to compile a kernel any more to boot nfs-root, and it works well with the diskless package. I'll post details later. Not tested with 2.6. Thanks for the help, -Adam P.
