Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.73d
Followup-For: Bug #377643
attached is a patch which should retry failed nfs mounts until sucess,
which is similar to the behaviour of in-kernel nfsroot (though i think
that has an incrementing sleep between retries).
please consider applying this patch, or a similar patch, as we don't
feel confident we can upload new ltsp packages without a reliable nfs
root option...
live well,
