I'd like to run Win2k server on a diskless box. I (unfortunately) need to have a Win2k server box around for testing an app that we develop on Linux but need to (occasionally) deploy on Windows. It's headless, so I just RDP in when I need to test stuff out.
I guess I'm interested in the diskless aspect not to save the cost of a hard drive, but just because I like having all my hard disks in one machine. All my linux boxen boot off the network and mount their root partition off of a (very, very fast) RAID-5 array. So they all get four-spindle speed instead of single-spindle speed.

I've heard that you can use LinuxBIOS to bootload other operating systems (like Windows, etc). Is it possible for LinuxBIOS to boot the device and install a block of code in memory that handles BIOS disk requests using some sort of network block device protocol?
ouch. What is the motivation?
thanks
