I've networked my IIgs to my old PowerBook 5300 before for file
transfers, but I don't have AppleShare and have never had any reason for
network booting. As far as I know there is no reason a ROM 1 IIgs can't
boot from a Mac, however I found this at Apple's Knowledge Archive.
I would guess that at some point something broke on the Mac side, and
Apple sure as hell wasn't going to worry about fixing it!

Apple IIGS: Booting From an AppleShare Server (7/94)
Article ID:15818
Created:7/14/94
Modified:7/14/94
TOPIC
I have an Apple IIGS, and it does not boot properly from an
AppleShare server. How can I boot the Apple IIGS from the server?
DISCUSSION
This problem only happens with Apple IIGS computers that have ROM
01. There are two solutions:
1) Upgrade to ROM 03. It doesn't have a problem booting from an
AppleShare
server.
2) Create an AppleShare boot disk and start the Apple IIGS from
that disk.
This allows you to use the Auto Logon feature to set the boot disk
to automatically log into the server and launch a program at startup.
