You can put your complete shared root partition onto gfs.  
Each server has ist own part on the sharedroot where hostdependent files can 
be stored.
You can boot the kernel from a shared storage device.
have a look at the mini-howto:
http://www.open-sharedroot.org/documentation/the-opensharedroot-mini-howto/

> You could also look at:
> http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/faq.html#gfs_diskless
The url mentioned in that faq should be  http://www.open-sharedroot.org/

I also had a speech about that at the redhat summit. Maybe it can be found on 
the summit homepage ?
