Something to try:

Mac Classics can be used "diskless" by holding down cmd-opt-O-X, setting
the startup disk to be the ROM disk (yes ROM) that appears and
rebooting.  I don't know whether LCs do the same.  If the machine is set
up with the various Appletalk options selected, (Macs on Novell think
they're on an Appletalk network), I guess (but can't try this with the
h/w we have) that you should get a "login" on booting up.
