I had to unzip the kernel Image in /srv/tftp/fai-sparc/, convert it with the elfaout tool and then I was able to start the kernel, but with no initrd:

{1} ok boot net3:dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot:192.168.1.1:/srv/fai-sparc/nfsroot ip=:::::dhcp initrd=fai-sparc/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp boot=live 

Boot device: /pci at 1e,600000/pci at 0/pci at a/pci at 0/network at 4,1:dhcp  File and args: root=/dev/nfs nfsroot:192.168.1.1:/srv/fai-sparc/nfsroot ip=:::::dhcp initrd=fai-sparc/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp boot=live

no success ...

the kernel doesn't try to get a NFS share ... so it seems, that there is no NFSroot support inside ...
