The way I understand it, if you place ROM's in the designated sockets 
(tucked away under the drive), the boot ROM's will recognize them and will
not prompt you to insert the Kickstart disk.  

So if you were to burn some EPROM's with the WCS image (somewhat trivial)
and plug them in, you would bypass ever having to load Kickstart.  Of course,
you would have to repeat the process every time a new version of the operating
system came out.
