I am sure you are much more in-tune with how exactly these things work 
than I am.  However, from my observations at $work, the 
linux-image-virtual in intrepid is based so closely off of the -server 
flavor that it ships as a separate linux-image, but uses the -server 
headers.  The linux-image-virtual, as configured, does not have NFSV4 
client capability.  To test this, you can do a fresh clean JeOS install 
using an 8.10 CD, dist-upgrade, modprobe nfs, cat /proc/filesystems, or 
even try to mount NFSV4.  Either way, the problem should become apparent 
rather quickly.

Also worth noting that in intrepid JeOS, /boot/config-`uname -r` appears 
to be missing.

Best regards,

Zack
