I was just trying this out on FC4 and system-config-netboot didn't
work out all that well for me. It wasn't NFSRooting properly. After
a bit of googling I saw other people were having similar problems.
The maintainer of that util was working on it, but even after
upgrading to his newest package
Fedora Core 3 includes a GUI utility called system-config-netboot that
simplifies creating diskless clients. The basic procedure is:
1) Install Fedora on a temporary hard disk on your (soon to be)
diskless client.
2) Copy the installation into an NFS mountable directory on your server.
3)
This is for Gentoo, but might help get you started...

No need to ditch your router. You just have to turn off dhcp on the
router and run dhcpd on your server. I think system-config-netboot
sets everything up except for the dhcpd.conf entry, which should look
something like:
host media {
hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff;
Interestingly, when I was trying to run myth frontend on haupagge MVP,
I didn't disable DHCP on the router. So, I had DHCP enabled in my
server and in the router (dlink 614+).
For whatever reason, the myth backend server was always responding to
the MVP's dhcp request !

Great! This is pretty much what I was looking for. I agree that it
might be difficult
