I have 16 blades booting from SAN. It works, but when I originally set them up they were running WS2003 and holy crap what a pain. With 2008 most of that is gone, but it's still a bit iffy sometimes. My only caveat is that you have support from one vendor for both the SAN and the servers.
@Brian, at the time we set this up the intention was to have a spare blade on hand, and move the LUNs over if we had a hardware failure. We did do this once. That no longer is the case, and I'm not sure I would do it again.
