That's not correct this way, as I saw in 4.3.2 of the HOWTO, the nfs
root is specified via kernel boot parameters, and as I saw in 4.4.1, one
can interact with palo to provide run-time boot parameters.

I'll do so, at least in case I'm unable to find cheap extension RAM, but
I just found a promising part at EBAY (32MB for 5 EUR, that's cheap
enough to take the risk).
