A follow-up to my own post:

The above paragraph is incorrect.  The NFS root mount is proper,
expected, and required -- but the failures you see later on (e.g.
/etc/fstab missing, etc. -- which are in your private mail to me but not
here), I believe, are a result of the mfsroot stuff not working.

Sorry for the confusion; I should really be asleep right now...
