 I described to problems, they shouldn't be related and I finally
 understood that they are not:
 
 1) NFSCLIENT in the kernel config will override attempts to use a memory
 file as root device
 
 2) Disabling NFSClIENT made the booting interface unavailable after
 mounting the memory disk device
 
 Problem 1 is still there - however 2 was a problem with my memory file
 system. I created a new bare one just capable of running ifconfig and
 both interfaces show up allthough not configured.
 
 Since 2 is not a bug there is a fix to 1, namely disabling NFSCLIENT.
