The virtual kernel in Intrepid _is_ the -server flavour, just slightly
repackaged. I think the missing /boot/config-`uname -r` is an oversight.
You can verify the JeOS kernel version by looking at
/proc/version_signature. I checked and there is an nfsd.ko in
linux-image-2.6.27-11-virtual_2.6.27-11.23_amd64.deb, so I'm not quite
sure why you can't make it work. Is this something you've verified at
runtime?
