Does http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt help?

I have looked at the document and have no idea of what to include in a root=
phrase.  Apparently no one else does or they would mention a universal root=
that just works as well as Fedora 16 pxeboot did without a root= phrase.

Between a broken pxeboot and an anaconda that flips out when it sees the wrong
version of Linux on the hard drive, I would think folks would wish to get a
robust install experience before proclaiming a public beta.
