Looks like me.
Yes I am using dos 5.0 on one of my 486. My linux server has samaba. I
can connect to linux in two ways.
1. By NCSA telnet (does not require even hard disk) to linux server and
use ftp for file transfer.
2. By using dos tcp/ip I can map required directories as network drive.
(needs about 1.5 mb of disk space) 

Boot rom idea does not appeal to me because the prices of floppy drive
has gone down to around Rs.500. It it gives lot of flexibility too.
