Copy this stuff:
http://omega.xtr.net.pl/misc/iPAQ191x/shell_nfs/

On PC side:
- install nfs server
- copy all from inside this file "debian_interfaces" to
/etc/network/interfaces
- decompress and untar file: "nfs_root.tar.bz2" into "/var/lib/"
- copy line from "nfs_exports" into /etc/exports. above untared path
should match as in "exports" file
- try mount nfs root

on pda:
- copy loader files, and initrd.gz file into pda, run.
- ip for PDA is 192.168.6.2, for PC is 192.168.6.1
- connect with ssh
- password for root is "rootme"

ye, to work. though you can disconnect and connect again, but not work
