Not true.  discussion useful.  I'm still not entirely sure its the
right thing to do.  and it certainly  isn't in the tree yet.

well you can implement nfs_boot() also using a kernelized client
bootp, but i haven't done that and figured someone else would.

the idea would be that nfs_mountroot() doesn't care about hte
protocols used.

nfs_boot() would have n-supported pprotocols: bootparam, bootp, ?*
