NFS != NTFS
Yes, I have checked my spelling.
You are trying to mount the root file system using Network File System (NFS) - remote mounting.
NFS option is in File system > Network File System > NFS
The parameter passed to kernel by grub is kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34 root=/dev/hda1 So, the action to boot from NFS taken by the kernel is not directed by the paremeter. I tell the kernel to boot from hda1, while the kernel make a decision to boot from NFS. Disabling 'NFS' while recompiling the kernel does not work as well.
