Here is my current command line:

console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=/home/jochen/export/basic ip=dhcp

And here is what I export on the nfs server:

[jochen@mops backup]$ exportfs -v
/home/jochen/export/basic
                10.4.4.0/24(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash)
/home/jochen/export/xfb
                10.4.4.0/24(rw,async,wdelay,no_root_squash)

The directories basic and xfb contain what Santiago put up in tarballs
on http://prohibido.aytolacoruna.es/nc/ .

I think there's something the suse rc scripts do differently. Check out
the df error message below. Probably /etc/mtab not updated after boot.

debian:~# mount             
debian:~# cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / nfs rw,v2,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,udp,nolock,addr=10.4.4.11 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
debian:~# df
df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems
debian:~# mount -r /dev/hda1 hd
debian:~# mount
/dev/hda1 on /root/hd type ext2 (ro)
debian:~# df

Anyway, I am sure we will figure it out.

Kurt, any way you can post your root file system as a tarball, or step-by-step
instructions for install-handicapped people like myself?
