They were actually booting mac os 8.5 from a macosX server machine.  It
uses bootp and tftp to boot the os.  The filesystems were afp volumes
mounted over ip.  I insisted they reboot one of the iMacs so I could watch
the evet and from the users side it looks like it's booting from the hard
drive except that it isn't spinning.
