I was tinkering with a similar idea of having the /boot partition on a
thumb drive and the rest on NFS mounts as a kind of poor / lazy mans
network boot.
All my computers are being shipped at the moment so I can’t test the
theory at the moment.
Have a look at
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-Root.html
and
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Network-boot-HOWTO/index.html
good luck and let us know how it goes.
