I think the problem is quite simple and can easily solved as written in
my other mail:
AOE is not a directory-/filesystem based export, but block-device based.
Therefore, he has to mount the AOE block device to the nfsroot location,
but a mountpoint cannot be deleted while something is mounted onto it.

Maybe - as far as anything in network installs, with many protocols
involved will ever "work without any problems" :)
One reason could be the usage of a SAN in his infrastructure...
