You can make a linux box boot from the network but putting a special ROM
a network cards boot rom slot, but its kinda fiddly. Also you can reflash
certain bios' to use open boot methods rather than the priprietary one
that comes with normal bios'. Someone at work has done this to build a
diskless cluster, I can probably find out more if you want.
One thing you will probably find though is that NFS isn't very fast.
