I'm experimenting with a few variations on this too, looking for faster booting and more resilience. I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking that a ram disk root like minimyth uses and with storage groups rather than any nfs mounts would be the way to go, once the client has booted the server can do what it likes.

I'll post back if I get time to try it.
