For NFS Boot, boot args should be some thing like this: root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=<ip address>:<android root filesysetm path> ip=dhcp init=/init console=ttyS2, 115200n8 noinitrd Make sure that you have exported your NFS server in /etc/exports, as below: #sudo vim /etc/exports Add the belwo line in this file: android root filesysetm path *(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check) And it would be good to restart your NFS server doing the following: sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart sudo exportfs -a --- But why you want to boot from nfs, as you have the patched linux kernel for android. It should have the required yaffs patches, if your board supports NAND, then you can boot from it. Instead if the board supports, you can copy your system and root directories into your SD card (ext2 or ext3 partition), and boot from it. For this, you need to mount the /system, /data, /cache with ext2 or ext3 in init.rc, and build before copying the images to the card.
