I've got mine booting from a RH9/FC installation. I'll be putting my
instructions up on the Wiki this weekend. I've gotten both PXE boot
(testing with VM Player) and then a GRUB boot from HD (which should work
in theory from any mass storage device) on my frontend for real. I'm
just going through some kernel driver compiles and then I should have a
good set of instructions soon.
