You might want to look at using UDPCAST.. You could setup the one 
system, and then use UDPCAST with a bootup diskette that supports the nic 
in the machines. It could then directly image the hard disk to other machines 
at one time. I use it with the g4l project, and setup one machine in a lab to a 
new image, and then use the udpcast to image the other 19 machines in the 
room using the multi-cast.

The site for udpcast can build custom boot diskettes, but you'll have to have 
information on the nic and controller to make sure the right ones get 
included.
