Maybe even leave nfsroot-mounting to the kernel as long as that features
remains in the tree.
That is impossible when using an initramfs. Once the kernel notices an
initramfs, finds /init on it and execs it, it is up to the initramfs to
handle everything else.
Ah well, stupid me forgot that. sorry.
I guess nbd and iscsi could go the same way like root=/dev/iscsi ...
It is as easy to handle it one way or the other in userspace. I happen
to think that overloading root= is easier to read, and prevents having
to remember yet another *root parameter when someone invents an even
more convoluted and crazy way to store a filesystem. :)
hmmm... 'convoluted and crazy' ok you got me.
Question: Do you we want to agree on a specific scheme for setting root
options? I'm thinking (for example) about having one initramfs for both
nfsroot and nbdroot.
