Was root=nfs removed on purpose or is it an unexpected
side effect of the "ROOT NFS fixes" patch from late
July 2003?
I understand this patch from the point of wanting to
eliminate nfs attempts when nfs is not requested. That
is clearly a reasonable thing to do. However, "root=nfs"
is a nfs request that has been accepted in the past, I've
been told, because nfs isn't a real device (but maybe it
was accepted as bug and this patch fixed it).

So something like this doesn't work?
root=/dev/nfs ip=::::::dhcp nfsroot=10.10.1.1:/nfsroot
I know that this was work in rc2.

not unexpected ...

simple, there was a discrepancy between the 'device'
table scanned on boot, and the actual device names
root=/dev/nfs is correct, where root=wossname worked
because it wasn't checked against anything ...
root=/dev/nfs will work for you, otherwise it is a
bug, and we'll have to fix it ...
HTH,
