Yes, see if it supports booting from the network card.

If so there are guides available on the net for how
to set it up.  Basically you configure dhcp for your
network and test it.  Next install syslinux and tftp,
then set up the /tftpboot directory.  You'll then need
to update dhcp to put it all together.
