I've done this before. Unfortunately debian doesn't like a read-only
root. The way I made it work was to mount --bind read-write copies of
all the files on root that needed to be rw, or the files I just needed
to be different on the client than the server, very early in the boot
process. After that it worked, except that NFS randomly died so much I
gave up on it.
