Last we had to use an AIX-Server as NFS-Server for NFSRoot-Boot.

It did not work, because the all Major-Device-Numbers in /dev/ are all
set to 0. The minor numbers are transported correctly.

A mount between two AIXes showed no Problems.

I tried this with various OS-Levels of AIX 4.3.x.x. and 4.2.x.x
Linux-Kernel was 2.2.16 on i686 and S/390 with various patches.
