I have no experience of doing this myself, but my understanding is that if your X terminal machine's BIOS allows you to boot from ethernet, then I think you should be able to set up another machine to send a boot command and boot & root "partitions" (for want of a better word) over the ethernet to your X terminal machine when you want to boot it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
