I did get it to work finally. You have to setup the kernel with these options.
1) Root file system on NFS, (Turn on 'Kernel level autoconfiguration' to get this option to show up)
2) Turn on BOOTP support within the kernel. You may also want to turn on DHCP support.
My problem that I was having is that even though I turned on BOOTP within menuconfig it still was not being compiled with that option.
I final found a solution where I modified the default config file by hand to turn on the option. This was a while back, but I believe this is the file I modified.
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/arch/arm/defconfig
Within that file you must uncomment these to lines and change them from 'n' to 'y'.
CONFIG_IP_PNP=y CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP=y
After that your kernel should compile with those options. Let me know if this helps.

They needed to move forward with the cluster so they installed fedora on every node.
I'll probably give it another try when they added more computers to the cluster.

I saw you posted to fedora-list.
I tried copying the disklessrc to rs.sysinit in the ramdisk img, but did not help.
Was wondering if you ever found a solution for this?
