It doesn't matter if it's a diskette, cdrom, boot-prom (bootp), or if your computer can boot from binary code you type in using your keyboard (but this could take a while :-)) You should have some writeable room for your configuration or you should use a cd-rw and an own bootable image, if you want change default config.
