I have installed Oscar 3.0 with the 3c2000T and the boot floppy for OSCAR 3.0 would work for collecting MACs and imaging the nodes, but I would have to install the driver by hand on the nodes in order for them to connect to the network on their own. So you should be able to get at least as far as rebooting the nodes before running into problems.
I have not tried installing Oscar 4.0 on those machines as they are currently my production cluster. I will be happy to share my notes from my 3.0 install if that would be helpful. I think I might even have posted them to the list at some point.
