My diskless frontend is working very nicely.  I boot using PXE, I found this 
in my bookmarks, though I can't remember how useful it was:

I did have to update the firmware on my Intel Pro 100 before it would work 
properly.

My biggest boot-up time problem is that the motherboard spends a long time 
wondering why there is no keyboard.  It eventually gives me the no keyboard 
error and continues on its merry way, but it takes a while.
