Not sure if this is an FC issue of a kernel issue, but...
I'm trying to use the nfsroot boot option to the 2.6.7 kernel with no success. (Panics because it can't find root). I tried to confirm that nfsroot is compiled into the kernel by rebuilding from source but the nfsroot option is not available under filesystems->network filesystems as it used to be.
Checking the Kconfig files, I see that CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is not included. If I add them then the kernel build fails with undefined references.
Is this a 2.6 issue? Any pointers would be appreciated as I haven't been able to locate any references to my particular problem.

the prefered way actually is to do the entire network/nfs setup from the initrd...

See:

for a discussion on adding nfsroot support to mkninitrd.
