nice, bringing the "cloud backup" to older hardware :-)

diskless booting over the internet would be cool as hell, would eliminate the need for unobtainium SCSI hard drives. I know some modern google laptop setups used to boot from the cloud.

Just put the driver in ROM, and interface it to PRAM. use a control panel to setup PRAM with the parameters to connect to the "startup disk" and reboot. it boots off the web :-) This is something i would HIGHLY support for my personal usage, is network booting an old mac.
