Our documentation[1] is currently a work in progress and can be found at
our website[2].

You can use the -f flag to the addhost program. addhost is responsible
for adding/removing nodes to your cluster. The -f command line options
accepts a text file containing the mac addresses as an argument. You
also need to specify the nodegroup to add the nodes to, the network
interface to use and the rack (if necessary) all on the command line.
For example:

# cat macs 
0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4b
0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4c
# addhost -f macs -n compute-rhel-5-x86_64 -j eth0 -r 0
Adding Node: compute-00-01, 0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4b
Adding Node: compute-00-02, 0a:1b:3c:5d:6d:4c
Shutting down dhcpd:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting dhcpd:                                            [  OK  ]
   Setting up automount maps for cfm:                      [  OK  ]

You can customize the base install of all nodes in a nodegroup using
the ngedit tool. Some of the screens allow you to add packages to
install on each of the nodes, add components provided by kits, etc. For
more information on kits, see our kits documentation[3][4].

> 3. How do I add additional node types?

The ngedit tool allows you to make copies of existing nodegroups (which
describe a node type) and then customize it to your needs.

Hope that helps!
Mike
