   Detection will take place at runtime. To minimize the modules
   in the image, add the autodetect hook too.
   For pcmcia net devices please use pcmcia hook too.
+
+  Kernel Parameters:
+  An interface spec can be either short form, which is just the name of
+  an interface (eth0 or whatever), or long form.  The long form consists
+  of up to seven elements, separated by colons:
+
+  ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>
+  nfsaddrs= is an alias to ip= and can be used too.
+
+  <client-ip>	IP address of the client. If empty, the address will
+                either be determined by RARP/BOOTP/DHCP. What protocol
+                is used de- pends on the <autoconf> parameter. If this
+                parameter is not empty, autoconf will be used.
+
+  <server-ip>   IP address of the NFS server. If RARP is used to
+                determine the client address and this parameter is NOT
+                empty only replies from the specified server are
+                accepted. To use different RARP and NFS server,
+                specify your RARP server here (or leave it blank), and
+                specify your NFS server in the `nfsroot' parameter
+                (see above). If this entry is blank the address of the
+                server is used which answered the RARP/BOOTP/DHCP
+                request.
+
+  <gw-ip>       IP address of a gateway if the server is on a different
+                subnet. If this entry is empty no gateway is used and the
+                server is assumed to be on the local network, unless a
+                value has been received by BOOTP/DHCP.
+
+  <netmask>     Netmask for local network interface. If this is empty,
+                the netmask is derived from the client IP address assuming
+                classful addressing, unless overridden in BOOTP/DHCP reply.
+
+  <hostname>    Name of the client. If empty, the client IP address is
+                used in ASCII notation, or the value received by
+                BOOTP/DHCP.
+
+  <device>      Name of network device to use. If this is empty, all
+                devices are used for RARP/BOOTP/DHCP requests, and the
+                first one we receive a reply on is configured. If you
+                have only one device, you can safely leave this blank.
+
+  <autoconf>	Method to use for autoconfiguration. If this is either
+                'rarp', 'bootp', or 'dhcp' the specified protocol is
+                used.  If the value is 'both', 'all' or empty, all
+                protocols are used.  'off', 'static' or 'none' means
+                no autoconfiguration.
+  Examples:
+  ip=127.0.0.1:::::lo:none  --> Enable the loopback interface.
+  ip=192.168.1.1:::::eth2:none --> Enable static eth2 interface.
+
+  nfsroot=[<server-ip>:]<root-dir>[,<nfs-options>]
+
+  If the `nfsroot' parameter is NOT given on the command line, the default
+  "/tftpboot/%s" will be used.
+
+  <server-ip>   Specifies the IP address of the NFS server. If this field
+                is not given, the default address as determined by the
+                `ip' variable (see below) is used. One use of this
+                parameter is for example to allow using different servers
+                for RARP and NFS. Usually you can leave this blank.
+
+  <root-dir>    Name of the directory on the server to mount as root. If
+                there is a "%s" token in the string, the token will be
+                replaced by the ASCII-representation of the client's IP
+                address.
+
+  <nfs-options> Standard NFS options. All options are separated by commas.
+                If the options field is not given, the following defaults
+                will be used:
+                        port            = as given by server portmap daemon
+                        rsize           = 1024
+                        wsize           = 1024
+                        timeo           = 7
+                        retrans         = 3
+                        acregmin        = 3
+                        acregmax        = 60
+                        acdirmin        = 30
+                        acdirmax        = 60
+                        flags           = hard, nointr, noposix, cto, ac
