Thanks Larry, the -- needed to be taken out.  Now I need to modify the
startup scripts and fstab so that I can get past the filesystem check
stage.  Anyone know of a HOWTO that discusses modifying the stock
scripts of an LFS system for NFS root?  Is there a slick way to slip
in a different fstab for network booting that what I would use for
local booting?
