I don't know if this will help but here are the instructions for
setting up an Apple IIgs to boot over the network according to Apple
Computer:

Setting up AppleShare on the Apple IIGS
----------------------------
Follow the steps below to set up AppleShare on the IIGS systems:
1) Start up with the System.Disk that came with the Apple IIGS System
Software Update Version 5.0, and format a blank 3.5-inch disk.
2) Launch the System 5.0 Installer on the System.Tools disk.
3) In the Installer, select "AppleShare on 3.5 Disk" and install it on
the formatted disk. (You'll have to do some disk swapping.)
4) Shut down the IIGS and restart from the AppleShare 3.5 disk you
just created.
5) Enter the administrator's name (usually "Administrator") and
password. On the Graphic Control Panel under the Apple menu, click the
AppleShare icon and mount the server volume.
6) Launch the Installer program on the IIGS System.Tools disk.
7) Using the Command key (Open Apple), select the following scripts:
* Latest Sys. Files (No Finder)
* Server Network Startup
* Server Quick Logoff
* Optional scripts (Install the scripts that the IIGS systems starting
up over the network will require; for example, the SCSI driver, 5.25
driver, LaserWriter printer, or AppleTalk printer.)
8) Install the selected scripts on the server volume. The system
installs over the network, and the double-arrow icon at the top left
of your screen flashes. You may have to do some disk swapping, and the
installation may take a fair amount of time.
9) Once the installation is complete, quit and shut off the IIGS.
10) Shut down the file server and restart it from the Server Admin
disk.
11) Launch the Server Admin application.
12) Select all users, or all Apple IIGS users who you want to be able
to start up over the network.
13) Under the Apple II menu, choose Set Startup, and designate
"Finder" as the startup application. (It will be located at
/servername/System/Finder.)
14) When you're prompted for a response, allow the system to set the
prefix automatically.
15) If the users you selected will be using a network printer, select
Set Printer.
16) Choose Volume List from the Volumes menu and double-click the
server volume. A dialog box allows you to set access privileges. Click
all boxes and save enclosed folders.
17) Quit the Server Admin program and restart the file server.
18) On the IIGS units that you want to start up over the network,
reset the startup slot from the Control Panel. Systems with ROM 01
should have the printer port set to "Your Card," Slot 7 set to
"Built-in AppleTalk," and the startup slot set to "7." Systems with
ROM 03 should have the printer port set to "Built-in AppleTalk," Slot
7 set to "Built-in AppleTalk," and the startup slot set to
"AppleTalk."
Note: If you have the newer model Apple IIGS with 1MB of RAM on the
logic board, set Slot 7 to AppleTalk and EITHER slot 1 or slot 2 to
AppleTalk.
19) Restart the Apple IIGS. It now boots over the network and prompts
you to enter a user name and password. Once you enter the name and
password, the "progress thermometer" appears, and then you see the
Apple IIGS System 5.0 desktop with the server volume icon at the top
right.
