What with mounting root via NFS, hence having to set up IP et al, mounting various different partition types, avoiding the kludge of fsck etc., being able to recover from a corrupted root, you might as well just cpio up your /sbin and stick that in, and be able to run single user mode without a 'normal' root. <FX: ducks & runs>
seriously point: ls /sbin gives a /maximum/ range I'd have thought.
