My fourth article on remote booting diskless Windows workstations
from OS/2 Warp Server is available at:

  http://www.matem.unam.mx/~micho/ripl4.html 

(this is an extended version). 

The article discusses several diskless RAM-drive based
configurations, that start Windows from a RAM-drive [C:]. Such
systems download their "Windows nucleus" (which is a minimal Windows
distribution with a 32-bit networking) from the OS/2 server (I
presented one of these configurations at Warptech). 

The article also explains how to create a virtual boot "superfloppy"
that is large enough to hold the whole Windows nucleus package (in my
experiments I used 16MB "floppy" images).
