No, there is no way to set this up currently in ovirt-node. You could install using a remote iscsi lun if you have a hardware iscsi HBA, but there isn't a way to mount a remote nfs share as the root fs. Supporting a remote NFS share as the root fs isn't even something that requested as an RFE at this point or on the roadmap as far as I'm aware. It sounds like what you're really looking for is a shared root fs that multiple hosts could use. This is something that we will probably look into eventually, but it's not on the immediate roadmap.
