What you could do is to make a boot process similar to most rescue or live-cd/usb. The idea is to make the whole thing run in ram, so boot by using network or memory stick, copy squashfs to ram and run from there. Should be lightning fast.

Another idea: if there's a spare USB (2.0 High Speed) port you could use a memory stick instead of NFS.
Good idea. I suppose this one http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a439283.html should be sufficient. I wonder if that's going to be faster (no seek times) or slower than my hard disk.
The only remaining advantage of an nfsroot system being that I can turn the power off without needing to shut the system down.
