Booting over alternate network filesystems

As it turns out, NFS is not the only game in town. There are several other network filesystems that could just as easily serve a shared root filesystem to a number of cluster nodes. As of yet there is no official support in oneSIS for alternate network (or parallel) filesystems, but it has been shown to work. To use one, it is necessary to edit an initramfs template (see section 3.2.2) to add the bits necessary for mounting root over the network filesystem of your choice. The new template can then be used via 'mk-initramfs-oneSIS -template=$<$template$>$' to create an initramfs image.
