As usual this was my own stupidity. NFS is a kernel module on the boot
floppies and the module is on the drivers floppy and not the mfsroot
floppy. rsync'd the NFS modules over and the NFS install worked
flawlessly.
I think the above error is just _slightly_ misleading for a missing kernel
module but perhaps that is just me :)
