There isn't any requirement for locally attached devices to have
readable filesystems if you can boot and nfs-root from the network.

The local disks in my HP hold HP/UX on them, I just network boot to test
Linux kernels.  This is essentially the same thing as having no disk at
all as far as Linux is concerned.  =)
