When I did my install on my diskless, cdrom-less X30, I found that
booting from Ethernet was involved but reasonably easy for Linux.
Probably easy enough to do for DOS as well, but I haven't tried it.

I used syslinux (aka pxelinux?):  http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php
There are some links from that page to other more general tools that
might be easier to use for a DOS boot.
