Don't forget the doco that is built in to a linux system (if you install
the kernel source). A linux kernel's eye view of a diskless system is
in <linux>/Documentation/nfsroot.txt, though it is getting a little long
in the tooth.
and, of course, man export, mount, mountd, nfsd, and portmap.
I think there is an nfsroot-howto also, if you like howtos. Don't give
up on howtos before checking the mini-howtos.
