I think we should have a stripped down kernel + initramfs thats kexecs 
the kernel to boot into userspace. When the klibc stuff is ready,
we only need to disable networking the get the kernel small enough to 
get the initramfs into the partition too (I hope). So we would only gain 
the boot-from-nfs option if we use the solution you describe.
