Which Kernel are you using?

Did you rebuild the nfsroot so that the new "strange" structure is built
up there, too?

At this point it boots to an '(initramfs)' prompt without the long timeout.

/live.log says (something like):
mount: Mounting root filesystem on /root failed: No such device

/root has nothing in it or mounted on it.
/live/image/live/filesystem.dir/ has what I expect as the 'root' filesystem (with etc bin lib var dev ... and so forth).

Any suggestions?

Thanks...
