NFS root and pegasus.o

Has anyone got nfs root working with an IA1?

I've got a pegasus based USB nic that I know works; I've got NFS exporting the rootfs ok (I think) but I'm getting a kernel panic.

I've appended these commands to the kernel boot line (I'm in grub, here)

root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=10.0.0.100:/home/jukebox/iaroot/
ip=10.0.0.200:10.0.0.100:10.0.0.100:255.255.255.0:juke:eth0:off

(all according to docs in kernel distribution).

I have compiled a kernel that has nfs, nfsroot, and pegasus all IN the kernel (not modules).

I'm getting this error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or 00:ff
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:ff

Perhaps you did not compile in USB?

Wait, IMSMR, USB is not initilized until much later in the boot sequence. That is probably why it's not finding it, even if you compile everything into the kernel.

Actually, I see USB get initialized a few lines before the kernel panic.

I don't see anything about the pegasus, though.
