OK, I just uploaded a working miBoot-based floppy image for
rootfs-over-NFS. See
http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/nubus-pmac/test/2.4.35/miBoot-2.4.35.1-nfs-floppy.img
On Linux it can be written to a blank floppy disk with:
dd if=miBoot-2.4.35.1-nfs-floppy.img of=/dev/fd0

Using hexedit I set the kernel command line to:
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=nubus ip=dhcp video=nbpmacfb
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1

Through this the kernel tries to get an IP address by querying a local
DHCP server. If successful it tries to mount /tftpboot/nubus over NFS.

I successfully tested it on a PowerBook 5300cs and a old Debian Woody
initrd, which was laying around on my workstation.

Cheers,

  Florian
