A friend of mine tried to install woody with nfsroot recently, i.e. on a sparc with no local hard disk used, but through an nfs exported directory.
This was not possible, probably due to this bug: http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2002/debian-cd-200205/msg00154.html In short: debootstrap fails because dpkg fails because setting a lock on NFS fails. Any chance to get this fixed for a woody point release? This may require a change in dpkg, though. Unfortunately I don't have enough spare time at the moment to work on it on my own.
