My conf for this host has changed very little.
I reference the newly named bridge interface, br0.

I'm still including: 

root = '/dev/nfs'
nfs_server = 'our_nfs_server_ip'
nfs_root = '/vol/vm/previously_working_root'

I see in via ip in the initrd that I'm getting the guest's IP and MAC
are being passed in to eth0.

Specifically I end up in the initrd with this output:

device node not found
fsck from util-linux 2.23.2
[/sbin/fsck.ext4 (1) -- /] fsck.ext4 -a /dev/nfs 
fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/nfs
Possibly non-existent device?
fsck failed. Mounting root device read-only.
Mounting root /dev/nfs
mount -o ro,defaults -t ext4 /dev/nfs /root
mount: special device /dev/nfs does not exist
