Thanks! That got it to connect over NFS! What a weird bug…

So yeah, after that: loader.efi doesn't respect boot.nfsroot.path and 
tries to mount /, so I had to adjust the DHCP server like I have 
already done for the RPis: (dnsmasq)

dhcp-mac=set:rock64,06:d4:ce:__:__:__

dhcp-option-force=tag:rock64,17,"192.168.1.2:/some/path/for/rock64"


Also the dtb built into u-boot resulted in a "Fatal data abort" after:

gpio0: Cannot get clock

Using a tftp'd dtb fixed it. Finally I have a working rock64!! :)
