I was having a difficult time getting a root over nfs system to boot
after several attempts to distro upgrade to 9.10. Having it explicitly
stated that nfs core mounts are not broken, I gave it a few more tries,
but finally today got 9.10 booting by first doing a fresh install and
full update onto the harddrive in a typical workstation, then tar'ed up
the filesystem, extracted it onto the server, made the necessary fs
tweaks and it booted! I still get a dozen "inotify_add_watch(6, (null)
10) bad address" lines during boot, but it appears harmless.

The downside is that I had to reinstall a bunch of apps, but it took
less time overall compared to a distro upgrade, and I ended up with a
nice clean system. I should have tried it sooner :)
