Question: Do you we want to agree on a specific scheme for setting root options? I'm thinking (for example) about having one initramfs for both nfsroot and nbdroot.
This is exactly what I proposed. If root=dhcp is given as a kernel cmdline from the bootloader, the initrd brings up the ethernet interface, dhclient, parses the output, and mounts whatever is defined in DHCP root-path parameter. Fedora 10+ mkinitrd does this today.
Alternatively, root= can explicitly define a root-path in exactly the same syntax that it would get from DHCP root-path.
