Yeah, that works.  It's booting the IIgs with *no* disk other than the
server that's the issue.
I forgot one other possible explanation- I only have a complete set of GS/OS
6.0.1, the last version. I have boot disks for some version of 4.X and 5.X,
but not the install disks.  It's been suggested that installing an earlier
version of GS/OS on the server would allow a ROM 01 to do a diskless network
boot, but  I have no way to check that without the older version of the
install disks.  If anyone has a complete set of the older disks, perhaps it
could be archived for posterity on one of the net sites.
