I use it as root, but not as boot. I installed gentoo on reiserfs (v. 
3.6), then compiled new kernel with reiser4 support in it, rebooted, 
created reiser4 partition, copied everything there and added entry for 
it in grub.conf (with corresponding root= flag). One more reboot and 
things are twice as fast (at least copying /usr/src with kernel sources 
is 2x faster on reiser4 than on reiserfs).
I never had a problem with reiser4 except test7 kernel where there were 
slight interactivity problems when copying large sets of files.
