We have an 815, and the docs for it include info on setting it up as
a diskless client.  We are debating whether to use that feature
is worthwhile (i.e. we're replacing the 815 with an 832, and might put
all disk resource in the 832, and have the 815 boot diskless, but I'm
not sure learning how to handle diskless machines is worth consolidating
the disk space, and not having two copies of the OS loaded).

I don't  know for sure, but I'd bet the 808 can go diskless, too.
