[Bug 5944] Re: init script disregards NFSROOT=auto option in some cases

This bug is a feature request for backward-compatible cmdline parsing.

NFSROOT is not a documented parameter in initramfs-tools(8), only
nfsroot.

IMHO, people who have old ROMs that append stuff that's no longer
compatible with current initramfs should do a two stage boot: have their
ROM  load pxelinux or something that can boot linux with the right
parameters.  AFAIK, this is possible.  If it wasn't, I'd be more
inclined to agree with the backward compat request.
