fabbione (review): looks good to me. thumbs up.
mdz 2006-07-05: how will the kernel and initramfs be made available to the tftp server? how will the initramfs be constructed? will the existing one be enhanced to support this configuration, or a new one generated at runtime? are there still issues with combining unionfs and NFS, as we found when we tried it for LTSP? please expand and set back to pending approval.
tfheen 2006-07-06: addressed mdz's comments, putting up for review again.
mdz 2006-07-06: Approved
mdz 2006-08-22: deferred to post-edgy in favour of higher-priority goals
