if you are really after a diskless frontend i would check out the minimyth
project (http://www.minimyth.org/). i use minimyth on all my ion-based
frontends (i have a mixture of ion1 and ion2 around the house) and it is
realtively painless to setup. and the advantage is that you have a frontend
with no local storage whatsoever (other than ram). minimyth also makes it
easy to create a ram-based or nfs-based root filesystem so there is some
flexability there as well. i went the ram-based route and it works
perfectly!

as usual YMMV!

hope that helps,
