NFS mount from kernel line possible? Not NFSROOT


I am wondering if it is possible to mount an NFS share automatically by adding the necessary information from the kernel line.

I have a PXE server. I load the kernel and an initrd image. I don't want to have to edit the initrd to add the "nfsmount" commands. If the initrd is updated from the original distro, I would have to edit it again and that's not what I want.

Basically I was thinking something like NFSROOT except NFSSHARE:

Code:
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz NFSSHARE=nfsserver:/share,/slackwareinstall

My questions are:
Is there an option like that? If not, does anyone know if its being worked on to add to the kernel by default? If not, has anyone worked on this at all? If so then who?

Thanks for everyone's help,

Noisome
