This should work fine. I believe using an initramfs is now the preferred way to setup things like NFS root these days, though using the in-kernel functions is certainly more convenient. > My work arround was to add and configure the bridged interface at boot > time, also i found the script for copying over the IP addresses > was never reliable especailly when multiple addresses had been added > to the old interface, and it made no attempt to deal with v6 addresses > and routing completely breaks. The script manages to copy multiple IPv4 addresses for me -- I'd be grateful for a an example of it failing. Fixing it for IPv6 shouldn't be hard, particularly if you could post the output of 'ip addr show ethX' and 'ip route list'.
