I am not sure what the OP meant by "diskless". If the question is
about booting Windows from a networked disk on a computer without a
local disk, then it is possible booting off an iSCSI disk. Check

Disclosure: I work at IBM's Haifa Labs - iBOOT is rather routine for us.
LinuxBIOS is not a part of this, though. Pity.
To be quite fair, Cisco are also working hard:
