This is only a guess. But many PCs have an option in the bios that
says boot from network. It may be worth a try. They often also allow you
to select more than one to be tried in order. Setting different options
can speed up the boot time of a machine and stregthen/losen sequrity on
the machine.
Usally new machine are set Floppy->CD-Rom->Hard Disk although if
the OS is preinstalled it may be set to Hard Drive Only.
Some bioses don't seam to have an option and may therefore not
work.
