If the bios on the computer supports network booting, it may be settable 
to try that first. This depends entirely on what type of computer it is.

Alternatively, if you have a bootloader like grub on these computers you 
can download zlilo images from rom-o-matic.net for your NICs and set the 
bootloader to load them first. You must change your /etc/clustertab to 
use Etherboot and run ssi-ksync-network. There may be a way to get PXE 
images, but I don't know what it is.
