If it is absolutely necessary, 
then only try it out. 

Else the easiest way is to put a floppy drive costing Rs.500-600 and use
single floppy linux to boot the machine. 

Else if you still want to try then,

1. Read the diskless-howto.
2. You may have to reprogram the boot rom. The commercial boot rom which
comes with network card is for netware only.

End If
End If

Best Wishes.
