You need to build a kernel with PCMCIA, your PCMCIA host bridge and the
network card driver built-in ... that _might_ work, if the PCMCIA card
does not require userspace-based initialization. Additionally you need
to build in NFS support and kernel level NFS autoconfiguration.

This is much simplified if you use initramfs, mkinitcpio should be able
to do it, even with the default Arch kernel, you may need to add some
drivers manually though.
