I have one of these guys in that same configuration.  Right now I
am booting off the network with a kernel that is hardwired to use
the local disks.  This is a bit of a pain, but it only needs my
laptop to be present at boot.  I've been thinking about picking up
a cheap tiny (100MB or so) old IDE drive, since the SRM will boot
off that.  Just something large enough to hold a kernel that points
it at the SCSI subsystem.
