64bit nfsroot can install 64 and 32 bit clients
32bit nfsroot can only install 32bit clients

I'm using 32bit nfsroots only as a fallback on old hardware and on 32bit
VMware clients. (Paravirtualization can not be enabled while trying to run
using a 64bit nfsroot/kernel. Either disable PV during install or boot
32bit.)

P.S.: At least with VMware ESX 3.5 / ESX 3.5i.
