I have a number of frontends, each with local storage.

I am looking at doing a CD-ROM netboot image (basically the floppy netboot image written to a CD) and getting everything from NFS from that point. I had tracked down a couple links in my research to date.
What I'd like to do is take my existing frontends (one a Debian unstable, one a FC2) and set them up as semi-diskless; boot off the local storage, then switch to using NFS for everything else, at which point I can spin-down the local hard drive, reducing noise.
I'm not really interested in a complete diskless system, and the various HOWTO's that I've seen pretty much revolve around netbooting / PXE.
Has anyone already done something similar?
http://howtos.linux.com/howtos/Network-boot-HOWTO/index.shtml This seemed promising and talked a bit about the bootable CD-ROM
The netboot site has the basic HOWTO for making the floppy. I believe that the same process holds true for the CD-ROM.
