You might find that it's easier to do with your boot kernel/initrd on
local disks. That is, store your boot kernels and initrd on local
storage, but change root to /dev/sd?? in each machine's grub.conf.
You'll need to add a bunch of modules to /etc/modules.conf and rebuild
your ramdisk to make sure usb-storage is and sd_mod are loaded *before*
the ramdisk exits (and init starts).
I don't know what the performance or data integrity implications are of
using USB as your root partition...
