More than likely, you will have to re-compile the kernel to enable (from 
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/NFS-Root.html):
    *  IP: kernel level autoconfiguration (CONFIG_IP_PNP)
    * RARP support (CONFIG_IP_PNP_RARP)
    * BOOTP support (CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP)
    * DHCP support (CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP)
#  NFS filesystem support (CONFIG_NFS_FS). Note that there is no need 
for ext2 support.
# Root file system on NFS (CONFIG_ROOT_NFS).

Most major distributions don't have those options enabled with their 
stock kernels.
