The endless loop when trying to mount nfs root is due to the fact that 
initrd is not searching for a "live" directory in NFSROOT.
So, it tells me that there is no "live" option in curent ubuntu initrd.
(the "live-initramfs package is installed on the server)

Changing path in pxe boot options to "NFSROOT/live/filesystem.dir" works 
but only in ro.
So it might be due tmpfs (not inclued ?) in the initrd image...

Has anyone experience this type of error with ubuntu initrd ?
