I actually think that using the Oscar framework is probably not what you'd want to be doing for this situation, since you'd pretty much be throwing most of it away.. I don't think anything like this has been done in the way you are suggesting, possibly because it's really hard for me to figure out a reason to do things this way...
(syslinux/pxelinux and nfs root may be a good way to start looking.. but I can't help on that path..) Vmware may be a better answer for what you need?
