There is dark netboot magic that you can conjure on many of these

into the firmware boot manager and specify a tftp server from which to
pull down a kernel image and initrd image.
Alternatively, you can get a PXE (pre-execution) image, which is
essentially a bootloader that, in turn, pulls down a kernel/initrd,
and it's a bit more user-friendly than a raw tftp interface for the
kernel/initrd. A co-worker of mine has done this successfully to boot
Knoppix.

Awesome, thanks for the info.
I told you he had to help! Wait, wait, watch this...
Ahem. So, I picked up a server at DI the other day. It seems to be an IBM
System/370 Model 145. Could somebody make up a live tape for me so I can run
gentoo on it? I think that'll be the best distro since this machine looks a
little older, so the performance increase will be notable.
