One more question; do you mount other nfs-partitions after booting?

I should probably try to play a bit more around with nfsroot. As for
now, I skipped it completely, and chose to rely on initrd instead. I
get grub to download a (quite big) initrd from the server, and then
it's passed to the kernel as the root system. After booting, I can
put up network and mount partitions through nfs.
