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.
