There are initrd based bootp/dhcp setups that can also then mount a root NFS partition and they do *not* need any kernel helper. Indeed probably the biggest distro using nfs root (LTSP) doesn't use ipconfig even on 2.4. DaveM can you just remove the thing. See http://www.ltsp.org for initrds that don't need it in |
