Do you mean SD card boot but mounting root partition over nfs, samba or usb?
My 2 pis work this way already using usb sticks with root partitions moved from SD card.
I've already tried all xbmc distros and settled on xbian. With root partition on USB I have never experienced fs corruption issues while with SD card only it was kind of standard issue. It seems to be rock stable comparing to plain SD card installation even when you play around with overclocking.
Actually that's the only useful way of work for me. Even standard install of alpha5 resulted in SD corruption after first or second reboot. I had to edit config.txt before install run and remove all overclocking settings (pure 700MHz run) to run installation/initialization and copy root partition to USB stick. Then I could safely get back to 840 for daily normal use.
