It isn't written as a textbook and isn't finished, but

http://www.phy.duke.edu/brahma/beowulf_online_book/

("Engineering a Beowulf-Style Compute Cluster") might have some useful
stuff.  Contributions are always welcome as well.

Other links on the Brahma site are also likely to be useful.  Of course
you know about "How to Build a Beowulf Cluster" book by Sterling,
Becker, .... not exactly a textbook either but still "the" beowulf
resource.

(can also be purchased, I believe).  Excellent resource.
