BOOTPROMPT_OPTS is not needed in lenny or sid by default- it is because
debian-edu sets BOOTPROMPT_OPTS that it was necessary to set in
debian-edu installs.

i haven't patched the file that would make it unnecessary to set "boot=nfs" in
the bootloader.  will add it to the next upload.

though i don't think this is really the bug Gustavo encountered- it
sounded like it was *trying* to mount NFS and failing, rather that
trying to mount using NBD.

live well,
