I just had a single NFS root for all the nodes; didn't have time to get

The way I interpret this is that the nodes actually booted a busybox
environment, not Gentoo...am-I getting this wrong?
That depends on your definition of Gentoo. If you consider a root
filesystem managed using portage to be Gentoo, than this busybox
environment would be Gentoo.
They boot to an initrd containing busybox, then proceed to mount
necessary bits from a read-only NFS export and other bits via tmpfs
where they need to write, then pivot_root into the new NFS root.

I think bproc has been superceded by something else, but I don't recall
what.
Thanks,
