Yes that sounds right. Just apply that patch after you apply Matthieu's patch
set. If you have trouble, just apply it by hand, it is small.
To be clear, this is not related to your NFS booting problems. More
information about the kernel parameter 'nfsroot= ...' are in the linux kernel
source tree ./linux-2.6.xx/Documentation/filesystems/nfsroot.txt. You may have
to add things like default gateway, netmask, etc. for the client.
