    Thanks for the replies.
    
    Re .1, I want to install Windows NT on an Alpha system without having
    to visit each system with a floppy.
    
    Re .2, I guess the state would be fresh (nothing on the system disk). 
    So I'm wondering if remotely triggering a load via the network
    interface (Ethernet or FDDI) is possible (or even desirable, come to
    think of it, for security reasons).  If not that, how about a floppy
    with a bar-bones file share client, such that I could mount a CDROM in
    a remote system.
    
    Thanks for the dialogue!
