booting via nfs

Hi There,

I've been having trouble booting via an nfs partition.  Here's my setup:

1. fstab is set up such that I can mount /mnt/nfs no problem on familiar
2. I completed the install, and set the linuxargs to:
	noinitrd  root=/dev/mtdblock1  init=/linuxrc.intimate 
console=/dev/ttySAO

I get as far as the bootloader, but when I try to boot intimate, it 
complains that it can't find /dev/hda1.  It can, however, boot familiar 
just fine.

Any suggestions?

Brian
