| Hi,

a debug
| board ? I'm considering if I have to buy a debug board now..

If you're doing kernel work, debug board is good.  For normal users,
they don't need it.

| Also, for testing kernels, I plan to use tftpboot + nfsroot as it
involves
| least effort. Would anyone suggest anything better ?

SD Card is the way to go.  If your kernel wasn't broken, you can update
kernel on it by scp.  If your kernel was broken, pop the card and push a
new kernel on it using SD Card reader.
