If you had read the second half of my post, you would have noticed that
I suggested using a "file-server". But I was trying to explain that
there are two parts to this question. As far as I know, Windows (not
using some form of "netboot") can't boot of a network, which means that
it still needs a filesystem (that it has file-system drivers for) to
boot.
