I have monitored the network activity on the NFS server with program
ethereal. It seems to be that the root file system is mounted. There are
packet sent from a to my xilinx board. The /var/log/messages contains also
the entry that mount was done successfully. When init is executed the
ethereal show only individual packets which are sent (in fixed interval of
time - once per 20 seconds) from the NFS server to the client but client
seem to be dead. Even ping does not reach my xilinx board when kernel
executes the init.

I think that the best prove that the rootfile system is properly mounted
is the fact that my own test init function (which substitutes the real
init) which simply prints the string to the console does that what is
expected to do. The real init unfortunately does not print anything to the 
console.

Best Regards
