Coupla things to check: you have to do a normal system install on the server
volume in order to boot GS/OS. Just doing the install of the Apple II setup 
disk isn't enough. Second, the server has to be in the same zone as the IIgs
in order to boot it. My Fastpath is configured such that all localtalk devices
are in a zone and all ethernet devices are in another so it won't work.
