  The GatorBox can boot via tftp from a Unix machine very easily. 
In times of great distress it's a good idea to have a Mac around
that you can hook up to AppleTalk along with the GatorBox, though.

  Any Mac NFS solution over LocalTalk is going to be slow due to
limitations in the hardware and protocol.
