I agree -- this would be good, and as you say- it needs adjustment in the
installer in order to accomplish it.

What else did you do in order to boot over nfs?
I might end up doing this myself soon, and if there's anything I can do
(eg additional kernel modules or something)
before releasing 13.37, I'd like to do it.

Sounds good!
