Hello Stefan,

Thanks for having a look!

I also share the impression that this test never worked. Plus the actual
version has a lot of FIXME and commented lines that scare me off.

I think I'll remove the "nfs-root-fs" test for now. To fulfil their role
its important that the system test are functional. Otherwise its hard to
distinguish a test failing because of a regression from a test that has
always been broken.

Any objections?

Thanks,

Mathieu
