actually they aren't: they're prepared for RAMDISK :)

I don't think there's any: indeed, if you have read the boot howto,
you'd have noticed that nfs-root images are very specific to your
network configuration, since you have to specify the server's IP.

therefore I don't see the point of releasing NFS-root images nobody
could possibly use.

So follow the cookbook in the HOWTO and prepare your own one ;P
