2008-09-10 17:56:05 Peter Cordes initramfs-tools: statusexplanation Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance. This bug is a feature request for backward-compatible cmdline parsing. NFSROOT is not a documented parameter in initramfs-tools(8), only nfsroot. IMHO, people who have old ROMs that append stuff that's no longer compatible with current initramfs should do a two stage boot: have their ROM load pxelinux or something that can boot linux with the right parameters. AFAIK, this is possible. If it wasn't, I'd be more inclined to agree with the backward compat request.
