Technically you neither need autoconfiguration nor CONFIG_ROOT_NFS.

With an initrd/initramfs you can do the whole procedure from userspace.

And AFAIR a few years back those options where on the brink of beeing
deprecated for just that reason.


Just my 2 cents.

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
