ok - after tinkering, yes you can use bootparams. I found the following
worked (after downloading and compiling rpc.bootparamd

/etc/bootparams:
eureka root=fourway:/usr/local/NetBSD-1.5/vax

and the relevent line in /etc/exports:
/usr/local/NetBSD-1.5	192.168.1.16(rw,no_root_squash)

that's all there was to it really - I know linux NFS is fairly awful - but
it worked without any problems whatsoever here, no params to rpc.nfsd and
rpc.mountd, kernel 2.2.15 I think. Just make sure you don't have dhcpd or
bootpd running or enabled in inetd.conf, or it'll try booting from those,
and I didn't play about with bootp (spose I should've).

Hope that helps

Bye for now,

       Matt
