As far as I can tell, NFSv4 doesn't work for nfsroot (something about idmapd not being able to run early enough), so I force my clients to use nfsv3. With this however, I keep seeing mount.nfs report "Protocol not supported". After some debugging, I determined that /etc/protocols and /etc/netconfig were required for mount.nfs to work. My initrd was built with features nfs and network, but when I added those two files, my nfsroot finally worked.
