this is just some added info on the nbd stuff:
My (Debian laptop) Server:
# apt-get install nbd-server

create a 128M file to be made into a filesystem later on
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/user/nbd_file bs=1024 count=128000

The default port 10809 will be used.

/etc/nbd-server/config:
[generic]
[export]
exportname = /home/user/nbd_file

# mke2fs /home/user/nbd_file
(answer yes it is to be a special block device)
# chmod 766 /home/user/nbd_file <-nbd-server runs as nbd user? whatever..
# nbd-server &
optional (make sure it's listening)
# netstat -ltn | grep 10809

Kindle (client):

I put the nbd.ko driver in /mnt/us and nbd-client in my PATH

[root@kindle us]# insmod nbd.ko
[root@kindle us]# nbd-client 192.168.15.201 /dev/nbd0 -name export
[root@kindle us]# mkdir nbd
[root@kindle us]# mount /dev/nbd0 nbd
[root@kindle us]# ls -al nbd
