I have 3 diskless machines using NFS/PXE boot on gentoo.  I pretty much
followed the directions here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Diskless_nodes.  The directions are long
but are very thorough.  My master backend is the
NFS host which has BTRFS as it's main filesystem.  Using BTRFS snapshots
makes it very easy to backup the diskless nodes which are just directories
on the MBE.

Hope this helps
