You are missing the nfsroot= parameter, which tells the kernel what the
IP address of the NFS server is, the exported directory on the server to
mount, and so on.

See Documentation/nfsroot.txt for more details.

(To be honest I can't see how this command-line could ever have worked:
were you getting your root filesystem from somewhere else and thinking
you were getting it via NFS?)
