Ok.

Of course it would solve the problem, too. But IMO it would be better to
have a resolv.conf in $NFSROOT, because this was the way it worked
before. Currently a upgrade to 2.6.6 breaks the upgrade of the nfsroot
unless you know about the missing resolv.conf and change
$NFSROOT_ETC_HOSTS accordingly.

Why did you insert the "rm /etc/resolv.conf" in the latest release? To
get around the bug in debootstrap? If yes, why don't solve the problem
with a package dependency?
