Original question was how to boot automatically with remote root/local
swap.
A large number of answers all agree that this is simple, just
specify carefully the kernel config line:
config vmunix root on nfs swap on type spec xy0b
Some also say that you can drop the bootparam entry for swap.
I didn't test this, just left the bootparams with a zero length
swap-file to get things started.
