@@ -10,3 +10,16 @@ barebox has readonly support for NFSv3 in UDP mode.
Example::
mount -t nfs 192.168.23.4:/home/user/nfsroot /mnt/nfs
+
+The barebox NFS driver adds a ``linux.bootargs`` device parameter to the NFS device.
+This parameter holds a Linux kernel commandline snippet containing a suitable root=
+option for booting from exactly that NFS share.
+
+Example::
+
+ devinfo nfs0
+ ...
+ linux.bootargs: root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.23.4:/home/sha/nfsroot/generic-v7,v3,tcp
+
+The options default to ``v3,tcp`` but can be adjusted before mounting the NFS share with
+the ``global.linux.rootnfsopts`` variable
