Yes, I have many times.

Make sure you have the proper selection in make menuconfig...
- go into Networking options and make sure TCP/IP networking/IP: kernel level
autoconfiguration/IP: BOOTP support is selected
- make sure the driver for your network card is selected
- go into File systems/Network File Systems and make sure NFS file system
support/Root file system on NFS is selected

This should at least get you closer.

The instructions in the manual should work.  If they don't work for you (and
you're SURE that your kernel is configured correctly) please email
support@mvista•com and let them know.

Yes as long as your network is connected correctly and your PC is configured
correctly.
