You can use nanobsd (toolt/tools/nanobsd) on a flash card and possibly through 
PXE, but I'd never tried that. You'd still have to circumvent the bootstrap 
of making that image, unless someone on the list wants to share his nanobsd 
image.
If the machines have floppies, there are downloadable floppy images.
