Could you upgrade the NIC's to a NIC with a boot room chip ?
try http://www.disklessworkstations.com/
for new network cards or ROM's to put in your existing network card.

Bootable cd's are supposed to be able to cope with multiple floppy
images and give you a menu - but that is bios dependant - with old
machines you may not have much more luck that way either

You may find some help at http://www.etherboot.org/ and

Yeah but it seems that I can only use one network card image per floppy.
An idea of having 30 different floppies for different NICs is pretty
lame to me :)
Or am I wrong?
