You must use TWo kernel parameters for NFS-root booting without BOOTP/RARP.
Under 2.0.x I use :

nfsroot=<nfs-server-IP>:/disk2/linux/rootdirs/myrootdir
nfsaddrs=<my-IP(client)>:<nfs-server-IP>:<gateway-IP>:<netmask>:<hostname>:eth0:none

under 2.1.x 'nfsaddrs' is renamed to 'ip' , but maybe it still recognises 'nfsaddrs' too.
