I haven't actually noticed problems with that, but having root on a
networked filesystem (be it NFS or something else) should be supported,
and I thought it explicitly was by Red Hat.  I have a few hundred
stateless HPC compute nodes with an NFS root, but the image is
maintained in a chroot on the file server, i.e. a local file system.

I wonder if there's more then one problem with rpm anyway.  I've seen
problems in the past which I'd put down to rpm's db library not working
properly on NFS 3, but I don't remember whether I verified that it was
the (whole) problem.
