Well, the question seemed to be primarily about booting the
underlying hardware (compute nodes) over the network. This is
actually pretty commonly done, at least for provisioning, but could
certainly also be used to get enough of a kernel running to find the
root disk over iSCSI or whatever.

As for the virtual machines (server instances), you can
boot-from-volume and use any sort of remote storage Cinder supports,
right?
