Gngngngn. One should *never* try to work seriously when still in the middle
of curing a bad cold. 
Obviously, the first part of software installation (which is indeed the
tasksel one) not all packages are installed. OK. I didn't wait long enough
then. Somehow magically after 15 minutes the missing packages appeared
(when I had fixed some missing PACKAGES install lines :-((( )

But another minor thing showed up: sometimes it would be handy to 'patch'
the current setup - not using cfengine but simple patch. Could it be added
to the nfsroot setup by default?

Another piece of nice news to conclude: I don't need to comment out/
reactivate xfs mount lines in /etc fstab anymore (in mountdisks and
configure hooks). At least this holds for the 2.4.27 install kernel.
Very nice!


Cheers, and sorry for the false alarm
