Might this be a change between 4.0.6 and 4.1? Just guessing here, but what you
write ...

... doesn't sound right. The check would need to be done "within the chroot"
(i.e. using only information from the chroot) in any case, otherwise installing
a different distribution from that of the nfsroot would also not work (though
things might have been more subtle, such as using some information from the
chroot and some from the nfsroot). My guess would be that it might have been a
bug that was fixed, perhaps even without being noticed :).
