Hi Ragu, as fas as I recall, you can specify nfs over the kernel-cmdline at boot. If you have thinclients that dont support this (e.g. my IBM NetVista N2200) you man need to use ugly hacks. Two years ago I simply changed the "init" script of the init-rd (around line 175) like this:
run_scripts /scripts/init-premount
[ "$quiet" != "y" ] && log_end_msg
maybe_break mount
log_begin_msg "Mounting root file system..."
#### we have no "cmdline" - so we set this manually for nfs!
ROOT=/dev/nfs
BOOT=nfs
#### end of change
. /scripts/${BOOT}
parse_numeric ${ROOT}
mountroot
A bit crude ... but did the job for me.
