diskless, right append line?

Hi,

ive tried various append... lines and all produced errors, according to: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Con … mmand_line
it cant be that hard nor uncommon to boot from nfs?

Ive added the net HOOK to mkinitcpio.conf and the card is recognized at boot.

/nfs-exports/pxeclient/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

HOOKS="base net udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"

But then it fails with
init: 1: cannot open /dev/nfs: No such device or address                       # <-why?
Waiting for devices to settle...done

heres my append line:

append initrd=kernel26.img ip=:::::eth0:dhcp nfsroot=192.168.11.3:/pxeclient root=/dev/nfs

Now the network card is recognized, IP-Config spits out some information about gateway, nfsroot path, ....
