If you want to run dos on client, run NetWare server on linux box and use
standard boot ROM on network card.
If you want to run linux on clients then put a floppy drive on client and
use any single floppy linux version.
When the floppy drives are available at 500 or so, it makes no sense to have
a disk less client, unless you have any other reasons.
